I've been scouring the net, but I can't seem to find a schematic for an Ovation Magnum I. Would anyone here happen to have one? I can find pictures of the electronic layout, but I'd like to know the values of caps, etc.
EDIT: I figured out the layout via the picture I found of the electronics. I bought a repro pickguard off of ebay so now I can run it stereo through my Acoustic 320 head. I'm going to try it out at my honky tonk gig tomorrow night. That oughta turn some heads! ;D
I remember a long discussion on the Ovation Magnum by Benjamin Strange on the TB list a year or so back. He made a series of mods to one. If you end up needing more info, there may very well be links in that thread.
Ooooohhhh ahhhh... I'll be on the lookout! Love those & very interested in what you're scheming! :)
Didn't see your edit about getting the repro pickguard until now. I just spent a good half-hour searching for ya! *Sigh*
I love those basses! Found some interesting links if you're still interested, I'll bookmark them now. :)
Here's a manual with a pic or two that might help.

Artec MB by the neck...?
Who knows. Might as well be an All Parts...
The bridge pickup looks like a Burns pickup.
I like the body design............
Eastwood has pickups made it its own specs. Probably not the same as an Artec or Allparts even if it might have been made in the same factory.
I like the body shape, but they really should have found a more substantial bridge to come a bit closer to the look of the originals.
