| I posted this in another thread of mine, but not as it's own thread. I never got an actual answer.
The question is:
Is it possible to replace an ovation saddle without replacing the pickup or any electronics?
Apparently it depends which type of saddle/electronics combo it is. So, my guitar is an Elite 1778t. It has an OP30 preamp if that makes a difference. That's all I can say until I take these strings off. |

| A nut.
Nah. It's getting worn down in some spots. I got it used, and there's a few spots next to every string where somebody put the string before and it left an indent. It gets kind of annoying.
Plus, I had the nut replaced, and now I have a white nut and a black saddle. |

| If I remember correctly, the saddle sits in a gold tray. Between the gold tray and the saddle there is a thin metal bar connected to a wire. That's the pickup, I think.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the saddle lifted out of the gold tray all except on one end. Like a crocodile mouth.
If I can replace it, where can I get a replacement? |
