NEW Ovation Thin Line Pickup

(Other items shown are for reference only and are not included in this sale.)
The
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
with BLACK Saddle was designed
exclusively for the DJ Ashaba “Demented” Series instruments
but can be used with many other Ovation Celebrity &
Applause Series Model Instruments.
How to tell if your guitar can use this pickup:
Verify that your current preamp accepts a 2.5mm male plug in the INPUT jack.
Verify the length of your guitars saddle slot.
The Ovation Thin Line Pickup is 76.25mm / 3” in length
(A folded dollar bill is about 3” in length)
Verify the width of your guitars saddle slot.
The
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
is 3mm / 1/8th” wide
(a new American Quarter and Dime coin measure about 3mm when stacked
one on top of the other – Can these two stacked coins slide into and
fit snugly inside the saddle slot? DO NOT Force!
SIDE NOTE: If you have a guitar with an Original Floyd Rose
Locking Vibrato system you can use the 3mm Allen Wrench
you use to tighten the locking nut with to check the saddle slot width..

76.25mm / 3” Length

PLEASE READ THIS:
Some USA Made Ovation Pro-Series instruments have
Integrated Saddle Pickups that are 3 1/4" (83.00mm)
length and 3/8" (9.80mm) wide, these pickups are larger than
the Thinline Pickup offered for sale in this ad.
Please take a moment to verify which Integrated Saddle Pickup
is installed in your guitar; if you are still not sure,
send me a picture of your guitars bridge and saddle and
I will help you determine which system your guitar has.
The innovative
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
pickup arrangement utilizes a
U-shaped aluminum rail securing the pickup and saddle
securely together for a snug fit inside the instruments saddle slot.
This configuration produces an articulate,
well balanced string response when using a plectrum or playing finger style.
The pickup arrangement captures vibration not only from the string pressure
but the energy produced from the soundboard resonance as well!
The
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
pickup is NOT a conventional under the saddle piezo pickup!
The
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
will work with Nylon, Bronze and Nickel strings.
The
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
was designed exclusively for the
DJ Ashaba “Demented” Series instruments
but can be used with many other Ovation Celebrity &
Applause Series Model Instruments.
The integrated saddle is compensated so intonation is
maintained up and down the fretboard.
IMPORTANT:
If you desire to lower your string action by adjusting the height of the
saddle remove material from the TOP of the saddle not the BOTTOM.
If you modify the BOTTOM as you would a conventional saddle
it will destroy the seating integration of the saddle and its interaction
with the pickup element rendering it useless electronically.
If you have ruined your pickup in this manner please contact me before
you purchase this pickup, I may have a more economical solution for you!
The saddle material used for the
Ovation Thin Line Pickup
pickup is
ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) Plastic.
The most important mechanical properties of ABS are impact resistance and toughness.
Stability under load is excellent with limited loads. A set of Bronze wound acoustic
guitar strings can vary between 130 – 215 lbs of tension depending on the gauge
and other factors of the string so ABS is a good choice of material
for the moderately priced Ovation / Celebrity / Applause Series instrument.
Even though ABS plastics are used largely for mechanical purposes they also have
electrical properties that are fairly constant over a wide range of frequencies,
again making it a good choice for a cost effective acoustic guitar saddle.

Sometimes in this fast paced electronics driven world we lose touch with the “humanity”

I am a real person; I am not just a number.
I welcome your questions and speaking with you personally.

As a consumer I understand the desire to save a couple dollars whenever possible.
This listing allows the choice between
USPS Priority and First Class Shipping
.
USPS Priority Shipping
offers a faster delivery time and the item ships
in a sturdy cardboard box minimizing the risk of damage to the item
USPS First Class Shipping
is more economical with slightly longer
delivery times possible; the item ships in a bubble envelope.
BOTH services offer tracking information.
I do not make any “extra” money on shipping.
The shipping price is calculated for
the carrier delivery fees to your specific location.
I package items VERY well and ship very promptly!
~
Tested 100%
The item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%
Many sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Ovation
equipment they are selling and simply send merchandise without examining the item being sold.
As a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it;
most of my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood -
an extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!
My endeavors are not approached as a mere "numbers game" or how many boxes of product I can move,
for me it is much more personal, most of my clients work very hard for their money;
I appreciate and respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.
It is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part after it has shipped;
this is how I have always operated; it takes more of a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they can trust me to do the job right!
The testing process was originally started for the sake of my over-seas patrons but I quickly realized the value of it for all my clients!
Maybe I am just "old school" but this is the way I feel it should be done.
Thank you,
William “Bill” Sutherland / AddictedToToneInc
