TKenrick Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ovation-style acoustic guitar (bolt-on neck, plastic body, wooden top) Originally bought off ebay for about £60, excellent condition owing to having hardly been played. Has issues staying in tune, hence why I'm giving it away. I suspect that tuning/intonation issues could be solved with a decent setup by someone who knows what they're doing, but as I don't really play guitar any more I can't justify holding on to it and would much rather it goes to someone who'll use it. I'm based in Chiswick (just off M4 junction 2), collection preferred but will consider posting if necessary.

Prosebass Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 What a really good gesture. If I was closer I would pick-up and sort it out , then pass it on to a deserving cause. How much would postage be ? I can get it couriered but it would be £15.00 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 I was thinking of sending it by courier as I don't trust other means of postage, even with an inexpensive instrument like this. Whereabouts are you based? I'll be around Worcestershire for a few days next week if that happens to be close enough for you to drive, otherwise i'll investigate courier/postage options if you're still interested.

Ancient Mariner Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If that doesn't workout with ProseBass could I grab it? I work with a youth group, and a spare acoustic guitar might be handy. Out of interest, was this branded 'Melody'? I bought one for about 25 quid a couple of years back, and despite terrible build quality (the neck is apparently plywood with a rosewood veneer fingerboard!) it's actually quite usable after some work.

Bilbo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 You could tune it to a Nashvlle tuning (EADG one octave higher than usual (the high strings of a 12 string set) and an ordinary B & E string. Sounds like a harp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youth group sounds more of a worthy cause than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 You had first dibs, and I don't have a specific destination in mind for it yet. If you still want it then go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
