Location: South of most, North of few | Found a complete washburn electric package on Ebay for $23.00 plus shipping, so I couldn't resist. Heres a couple of pics of the installation in my Koa.
Turned out real nice, and it sounds good too. (plus, it has a tuner :D ) |

Ya know, I was thinking the same thing after seeing the pictures. It doesn't look that complicated in person. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Well, it really isn't an expensive guitar, so I didn't have any jitters doing it. It only cost 300.00 new, but it looks more expensive than that. All Koa with curly maple binding on the body and neck. Looks nice, plays easy and sounds real good*.
(*except when I'm playing it...) :rolleyes: |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks Mike. I don't think I would attempt it on someone else's guitar, but since it wasn't an Ovation, I figured I didn't have much to loose. ;)
Check that, actually I did the same thing on my 1115 to make it a 1615 when I installed an OP24+C in it. |

No balls, no sawdust!
I'm holding out for an iPhone with a tuner and GarageBand IV.
Shoot, maybe I'll just need one with an IV by the time I get to it |

Location: Boise, Idaho | OMA, plug a microphone cord into the 3 prong and into the mic input on your amp. You will also need to put a plug in the 1/4 jack. The XLR output is much cleaner than the 1/4. |
