Al tried to say he thinks all the pick-ups are the same! Moody said if there is more than 3 pick-ups he's screwed! And I think cruster is lost on the interstate somewhere! :rolleyes: |

There were three p/u's used during the late 80's and into the 90's. There was the original one,and two that were thin line. These were the saddle p/u's. If we're talking preamps, there were a ton made. But only (to the best of my knowledge), 3 p/u's. |

Paul, I have neither. There are a couple of "assortments" on ebay right now. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I called my Ovation tech. He has an extra pickup in his parts box, so I took the guitar there. I will let y'all know how it turns out. Thanks for the help, and I learned something new. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | UPDATE: the pickup my tech has is a thinline, and I need a wider one. So, I am back to square one. |
