So I recently tried out a used ovation ( Celebrity Deluxe CDX44) and its SO WONDERFUL>< but the last 2 frets close to the attachment on the neck has the 2 fret 1 note problem.


Later he called back and said he simply raised the bridge and fixed the problem. To me it's not making much sense... Could it be:
-Loose fret?
-Common fret wear?
-Other things i'm not aware of?

I understand that ovations are not made with just wood and has a lot of funky materials going on. I like to stay on the safe side so any pointers would be appreciated!

Sounds like a high fret. I think the standard first easy solution for that is to give the offending fret a little tap with a rubber mallet.
