Good of you to reply but the question is a year and a half old. The OP has probably either found the answer or doesn't care any more.

Looking good. As Freeman said, I'm glad to see you've gotten back to it.

See my reply over in Electric Guitars: http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/guitar/acapella-41/31696656-asahi-electric-guitar-neck.

Me! Me! Pick me! Seriously, considering he can probably get all the info he needs by simply looking inside the guitar (note the visible label in both pics), probably not.

Hi and welcome to the Forum. Find the serial number on your guitar and go here: http://www.ovationtribute.com/Date%20your%20Ovation.html.

Hi and welcome to the Forum but given that this thread is four years old, I doubt the OP still cares.

^ Looking good.

^ Yeah, glad to see you haven't given up on it. Keep us posted.

No, St. Louis. I found West Coast through a Web search, same with Rufus'. Just trying to help the OP.

I checked their web site but I only saw Yamaha acoustics. I probably needed to scroll down more. Thanks for the save.

If the OP fancied a road trip, Ted Brown Music in Seattle has the PAC311H, which is the hardtail version of that guitar: http://www.tedbrownmusic.com/p-103518-yamaha-311h-pacifica-series-electric-guitar.aspx. Only 140 mi./ 225 km.

Yes. Out of curiosity, I'm assuming you've checked Rufus' Guitars? Their web site says they carry the Pacifica series: http://rufusguitarshop.com/electric.html#yamaha.

So true.

Yamahas are pretty consistent. It's unlikely you'll get a "bad one." Besides, a setup isn't rocket science. The folks here can talk you through it if necessary.

Erm, doesn't a HSS Strat tap the bridge pickup anyway when B+M is selected? So there wouldn't be a difference except with the bridge pickup alone.

The PAC112V has better pickups and a better tremolo and is more of an intermediate instrument than strictly a beginner guitar but either guitar is going to be well made and at least adequate for your needs. You need to decide how much you want to invest. Play both or have a friend or music store employee play both side by side and see if there's a noticeable difference either way. If you can't justify or afford the PAC112V, the PAC112J will serve you well.

With Gibsons, the "J" in many cases means slope shouldered dreadnaught rather than the narrow waisted wide lower bout shape most of us think of as a "jumbo." The J15 is the former, the J200 is the latter. Looks like the LG-2 is the least expensive small-bodied Gibson currently being built: http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Acou...can-Eagle.aspx.

All else being equal--which it isn't, of course--you'll get a bit less than 2dB more peak volume out of the Egnater in 60 Watt mode with the same cab. That said, it is a killer deal. Good luck.

Well, yeah, there is that. I assumed the OP knew what he was getting into and just wanted comments on the amp. Lord only knows few musicians actually need a 120 Watt amp, let alone one that typically sells for around $1200. A "steal" is still going to be a lot of dough unless the word "steal" is literal.

I did a web search for "Egnater Vengeance problems" like you probably did and couldn't find anything. Some early Tourmasters had faulty transformers but that's about it. Beyond that, they seem to have a loyal following. With luck, someone who has actual hands-on experience will reply.

^ Great. Now we have mods necro-posting. This thread is a year and a half old.

Looks good. You're about due for some good luck so I hope it turns out well.

Good luck and keep us posted.
