US made Ovation 6 string acoustic FT

[pathdoc2]

I have a beautiful acoustic electric 6 string acoustic made by Ovation (US built). Its a Legend (model 1867) black supershallow bowl with 0p-24 electronics. Includes hardshell case. Excellent condition.
I would like to trade for a good tube power amp (low wattage).
Any takers? Pic is a friend playing this guitar years ago. Still looks clean as whistle.
Thanks

Where are you in the US?

 

[pathdoc2]

Yes I live in the north Dallas area, Texas.

OK, I'll drop you an email. We're within a comfortable drive.

 

[pathdoc2]

SY, a handmade amp would be awesome!

 

[SY]

OK, I think we're cooking.

I'm a sucker for musical instruments, and never owned an Ovation.

 

[pathdoc2]

This is so cool. A one off hand made amp. Its like a dream come true.

I had a Legend Custom from the late 70's that I reluctantly sold a few months ago.

I bought if from a pawn shop cheap 20 years ago... oh the memories...

Sy: Want to build that with the 6HV5A's? Or that too many unknowns at once?
We was floating a trade for something 6L6ishy, per an earlier agreement.

I got ancient single ended Voice of Music if all else fails. Not really a guitar amp,
but have used as such, and it works. All new caps hidden under where you can't
see anything modern. Original dinosaur cap still topside for looks (disconnected).
If you want to borrow for stand-in while designing some kinda 6HV5A thingie.

I'm no good for building anything pretty, but I can stealth fix them antiques.

 

[SY]

I was thinking something like a pair of trioded EL84 or 6BL8, depending on what I have in stock.

When I come up to Dallas to make the trade, I'll bring some 6L6GC-oids.

um... hifi amp right? kenpeter mentioned guitar amp ..might want to make sure.

 

[SY]

Hifi. The OP and I have been exchanging emails. I might even do an article about it.

 

[kenpeter]

kenpeter mentions all sorts of thing he don't know what...

Them Ovations are cool. Guitar player in my band would kill.
Then again he has a Fender dread that he smashed. Had to
be put back together with Bondo or JBWeld or similar epoxy...
Dude who did that repair was more genius than I ever will be.
Never sounded better! Bondovarius we call it...

 

[pathdoc2]

SY will be building an amp for me. Very cool. Thanks for looking.

And my wife is NOT happy that I'll have yet another instrument to play badly.😀
