Need to know which type of replacement tone/volume knobs are used by Ovation. Is it the course (18 spline) or the Fine (24 spline)? Also, at Stewart McDonald they have two types of screws to offer – Fender and Gibson style. Do I want to get screwed like a Fender or screwed like a Gibson? Stewmac screws Thirdly, I remember some talk over guitar bodies finished in Tung Oil only (Teak, Danish, Tung, etc.). Any opinions or observations?

Finish is whatever you want. Pots are 250K for single coils and 500K for HB. Good Luck!
