highwayone Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) [size=4]Thinking of selling my electro acoustic as it hardly gets used. I think it's late eighties-ish but can't find much on the net apart from that it's made by Ovation so I guess it's their Squire/Epiphone range?? It sounds lovely through an amp and is also surprisingly loud unplugged( compared to a Stagg I bought and could hardly hear it unplugged!) It is an unusual guitar as it's made of plastic!!! which would make you think it sounds and feels cheap and terrible but it actually makes for a great sounding bass and a 'bigger sound' due to the acoustics of it. There is the odd mark, mainly a scuff on the back where I had to hacksaw the rounded off screwheads to get the electrics working again!! (pics below)and as a result the switchbox only has two screws holding it in place which is doing it's job well enough. Has had new strings . Looking for £90 collected. it does come with a gigbag to keep it safe. Thanks[/size]. Edited September 4, 2012 by highwayone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the battery cover still? [/quote] It was just a loose connection, the battery cover was missing when i bought it. I just threaded a piece of material around the battery so i could pull the battery out when i needed to. Think they're quite generic and can still be bought but i never bothered looking into it.
