: 6 string Acoustic. I bought it new in 197? (can't remember exactly). It is "The Anniversary Model" ( I think the 10th). The model is 1157-7 and the serial number is 150992. It is in mint condition. Just wanting to find out some things like - specs, number made, approx worth.
:
I bought the exact same guitar brand new at E.U.Wurlitzer in Boston. Mines mint too. But I'm afarid
its only worth about $450 or half what I paid for it. Ovation's electronics have come a long way since then.

You can get a tremsetter, but with the fine tuners you should be able to have all strings in tune... I have 2 gutairs w/floyd roses, and have a differnt "tuning method" for each... so can't really offer any advice there... if you can't get it in tune check/adjust the hardware, you can find alot of advice on the web on floyd's.... Good luck.

: I have a floating tremolo (floyd rose or something, i don't know).
: The bridge is suspended around a fulcrum. It uses the tension of the strings to hold it up and a really strong spring to hold it down.
: The problem arises because of the fact that the strings distribute the load of the spring. What that means, is that if I tune one string up, all the other strings get loosr and therefore detune. If I tune one string down, this increases the tension of the other strings, and they all go up in pitch.

: When I play with my friends, I tune my guitar to theirs by first tuning my entire guitar. If I am flat, I detune one string (a sacrificed string) and this raises the pitch of the other strings. If I am sharp, I tune one string very high and this drop the pitch of the other strings.

: I am tired of sacrificing one string everytime i play with someone else or everytime I play to a record or recording. Is there some device I can make or buy that would lock my tremolo. Help.

A POD is probably not your best bet. I would suggest a good overdrive pedal. The Boss Blues Driver is incredible (don't let the name fool you, it has an awesome overdrive). Also, look into getting a compressor, the MXR DynaComp is pretty cool. And maybe a chorus pedal and a delay pedal. That is pretty much all you would need for what you play. I hope this helps some. Good Luck.

That crack in the top is almost certainly just in the finish, not in the wood. If so, it's called a surface check and won't cause any harm to the guitar or its sound. If the top itself is cracked, it can almost certainly be fixed without removing the top. Take it to a competent repairman (or two, get a comparison) and have him look at it.

: I have an Ovation Balladeer Electric that is many yuears old. It is in good shape except there appeared spontainiously a crack in the face. I would emagine the top will need to be removed and the crack reapired. Can anyone tell me where I could get this done and if you have any guess at how much it might cost? I'm wondering if a used guitar might be cheaper. Thanks, Tony

: Hey,
: Well I've found a recent deal ona used Marshall Stack. It includes a JCM600 Head (60W All Tube), and a VS412 Cab (140W, 8Ohm, Mono, 4x12, Gold Back Speakers). I get all this for $900CDN($550US). I'm an intermediate guitarist, and will be gigging in small clubs with my band. What are you thoughts about this set? A good deal? I'm strapped for cash, and I think this is the best I can get for my money at the moment.

Hey Mark take it...awesome deal

It's a "power chord", put your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the 5th string, now play just the top
two strings. You just played E5! If you need to play G5 put your 1st finger on the 3rd fret
of the 6th string and your 3rd finger on the 5th fret of the 5th string. You can move this anywhere
on the top strings, where-ever your 1st finger is, thats what chord you are playing. The "5" is in
reference to the degree of the scale that note is in relation to "E", the 5th is the dominant note
in the scale, thats why they are called power chords.

: I have been looking at my nirvana nevermind music book and the blasted chord keeps croping up! I am new to the guitar seen so if anyone can help me buy giving me the diagram or suggesting alternatives i would be very greatful. thanx ant

Just a note, I thought E5 was 5th, and 4th strings fingered on 2nd fret... 5th string 2nd fret is Em7 ??? if I remember right ???, but been awhile since I thought about it... and am going to stop now that I have.
