Interesting to see a few posts relating to overwater guitars. I posted earlier to say that I own a couple of early 80s models and have collected information about them over the years. If anyone would like to swap info. please mail me at hnayoungatblueyonder.co.uk replacing the at with @. Or if there is a forum somewhere, please post the link.

cheers,..andrew

Another Overwater guitar owner here; mine's a 1981 032 model in Blue. I've owned it since new. Original Ibanez Volume & Tone controls now replaced with more tasteful plain chrome ones; I'm thinking the Bill Lawrence pickups might be worth changing too, if only for the aesthetics. A few years ago an old school friend emailed me a link to an eBay ad showing an Overwater Flying V in exactly the same blue flame maple finish as mine!

Hi Simon, there's not much I can tell you about my Overwater guitar. It's a gorgeous piece of luthiery, and I wouldn't part with it for anything. Twin SD pickups (we think), although they might be Bill Lawrence, coil tapped and phase switched so the sound possibilities are almost endless. But the best bit is the neck which is very thin front-to-back, and not excessively wide. I love it. To be honest, my guitar playing doesn't do it justice.

I own an Overwater guitar, that my best friend bought from Windows, in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, in the 80s, identical to the ones in the "Overwater Guitar" and "The Other End" pictures. About 20 years ago I bought him a Kahler Spider, licenced "Floyd Rose" locking trem system, took it to the lads in Haltwhistle and had them fit it (I worked in the music business and vaguely knew the lads at "Chris and Andy's" and "The Overwater Guitar Company"). I wanted it converted properly and wouldn't swap it for the world! Delighted to find out they're still making guitars (Left the industry in '94). Mine's a beautiful instrument; a one piece body and neck (walnut I think?!), pick ups that can be single or double coils when the vol controls are pulled ("Fusion" rings bells!) He stopped playing and gave me the guitar. I love it and I wondered if you could give me any information at all about it? Thanks very much. Regards. Si.
