Nova guitar - thrift store find
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2022 4:00 pm
Picked this up for USD$25 at the local thrift store. It is about 20 years old and came from the "Sears" department store - likely part of a guitar/amp starter package.
It is actually nicely made. The neck is straight and feels good.
I am doing a full service on it... will be interested to feel/hear how it plays once it is done.
Stuff to fix:

Stuff to fix:
- Thorough clean - the fretboard and frets were filthy.
- Sharp fret ends. ALL guitars that have been in Calgary for 20+ years have this. The fret-board wood shrinks because of the low humidity.
- Clean the pots and check the wiring.
- New trem arm.
- Full setup - string height, pickup height, intonation, etc.
