Location: Boise, Idaho | Dude, no problem. We all seemed to have hijacked my thread a long time ago. It seems like shims and plastic pieces should be available. I'd check with an Ovation dealer near you or contact Al (alpep).
One of our local dealers a year ago was telling me he was having trouble getting the factory to respond regarding parts for an Ovation I was thinking about buying. It had a similar problem with a dead string. He ended up selling the guitar to someone else and I never found out if he was just giving me an excuse. There are several different style of saddles and pickups, and I assume the white plastic thingys vary, too. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Back to the cabin issue, thanks for all the free advice guys. My mother in law died, so I can't call the cabin hers. Cliff, I don't know if someone from New Jersey knows what a cabin is, but many don't have plumbing. Too bad I tore down the outhouse last year or I could have sold it to you as a cabin.
I wish I graduated to a "vacation home", but since the Californians discovered McCall, Idaho vacation homes are running about $1,000,000 to $10 million, so my 1955 log cabin is still a cabin, even with all the remodels. Somebody will eventually offer me a bunch of money just to knock it down and take over my State lease of the land and I will get rid of it. That just happened to a neighbor. Someone paid $250,000 for an old cabin on a 10 year State lease and then knocked the cabin down to build a "vacation home" on it. |

Location: NJ | Used to live in a house that started out as a "cabin", evolved into "vacation home" which was later (tastefully) augmented into a three-story, passive-solar Contemporary (on a private lake).
Jersey actually has QUITE a bit of lakes, mountains & forests. People just generally equate it to factories, cities & urban sprawl (much the same way people generally equate Idaho to just fields of potatoes . . .). |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I know, Cliff, or at least I've been told that. They must have called it the Garden State for some reason. Had a good friend in law school from Jersey City. He couldn't wait to go back. He was a judge there last I heard. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Dude, it occurred to me that their are two white plastic thingys. There is the saddle, then below that there us the metal thingy that is actually attached to a wire that goes to the preamp, then below that there is a white plastic thingy that is loose along with similarly shaped shims. It was the white plastic thingy on the bottom that I moved to restore the sound from the preamp. |
