Location: PA | Cody,
I had two Ovation GP's not too long ago. One of them had original Super2's the other had new Super2's. They sounded virtually identical to me. The guitar with the newer Super2's may have had a slightly more 'dark' quality to it - but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the pickups. It could be the wiring & pots, it could be the wood in the guitar, it could be my imagination.....so yeah, I think they sound the same. The older ones had those cool covers though.... |

Location: Somewhere in cyberspace | Paid $100 in '86 for my GP and they LAUGHED at me for buying that guitar. Heh Heh... If you hold on to your faith long enough, the world will come around eventually.
All the described problems are superficial. As long as she's structurally solid, it's mostly just elbow grease and a little time. Parts for a GP are easy enough to get, wiring is nothing, clean up is less than nothing. You try rebuilding a Soviet '74 Tonika, then we'll talk about "more than I've bargained for". For $600 you did all right there, dude, now fix up that geetar and enjoy the hell out of it, cause it's a great one. Welcome to the GP club :)

Location: New Jersey | yeah, I'm sure there are many people on this forum that would gladly take a beat up GP off your hands for the price you paid for. You got a bargain and once you fix it up, you'll see why. |
