After watching all sorts of SA's on eBay for months (primarily the SA50) I've found it nearly impossible to find one that isn't missing a trem arm, knob tops or a pickguard, or had replacement tuners or bridge installed, or the upper strap button relocated. So I decided finding an all original example is important. I also began to have an appreciation for the more understated charm of the simpler early models with the black humbucker covers, and the even simpler binding and inlays of the lower tier SA-30. A little disappointed I won't be able to have a go on the wacky jaguar-style tremolo of the 50, but this was about half the price of the cheapest nice examples of those, and the trem setup looks similar to the Schaller bigsby style on my Ovation I already know and love, so I'll probably feel more at home with it.
This one looks to need a bit of love to the finish and frets, as well as some electrical work. Hoping it's just an unsoldered wire somewhere, bad input jack, just about anything could be the culprit. But most importantly it's 100% complete, including the OHSC. Will post pics and maybe an unboxing video when it arrives
