Greetings folks,

I recently acquired my first Fender guitar(Yes, it's holding it's own against the Jacksons) by way of a Fender Montera Acoustic/Electric. I've been through the forums and google looking for info on it and managed to find some. I brought it home today and plugged it into my Bassman amp head and the only signals the guitar was putting out was overdrive. No matter where the volume was set on the guitar itself it would either give me next to nothing volume wise or overdrive it like it was coming out of a tube OD. Even with the guitar volume low and the amp really high(But still clean) all I got was a low volume overdrive of the sound.

Question 1, this guitar has been sitting for quite a while according to the original owner I bought it from. Could it be simply that the battery is low in the pre-amp? The Montara requires I de-string the guitar to change it, so I thought I'd ask first.

Question 2, before I make the drive to a guitar shop and ask their tech(I live up in the mountains) what kind of an impact would replacing the internals have on the guitar?

This is my first acoustic/electric to own so I'm unsure of how it could/will effect the acoustic sound of the guitar.

Thanks,
Nathaniel

Welcome.

Answers:

1. It appears your battery simply needs replacing.

2. Not much (if any).

Always start simple...change battery first, move on from there.
