| Hey everyone! Let me give you a backstory of why I'm here.
I got my Ovation Breadwinner back when I was 12 from my cousin. Batteries corroded, it was in a state. Local music shop got it cleaned and back up and running. It has been an OK guitar for a time, but bit the dust a few years ago. A couple years ago decided I would take it apart and see if I could track down it’s problems. The pickups were shot/decaying and the circuit board had a few traces broken, lifted, and/or corroded (most likely because of the batteries from years before).
With a little know how from my friend and I, we are going to try and make a custom printed circuit board using its current layouts and schematics we found. It will require me to move the components over, but the traces will be newer and hopefully restore the sound of the Breadwinner!
Has anyone attempted this at all?
If not, would anyone else be interested in purchasing a replacement board for their guitar? (it’s cheaper if we buy the boards in bulk!)
Side question, what have people used for replacement pickups that can mount to the Y bracket? I tried contacting Seymour Duncan about a custom Y bracket spun pickup. No response, been over a year.
Anyways, hope this forum is still alive and kicking, would love to hear from you all!
