Location: United States | I am now the proud owner of my first ovation. yesterday my cc24s arrived. the only complaint i had about it was that it had a broken string. but that is no big deal i purchased a couple of packs of dunlop zakk wylde strings and restrung it. i am very pleased so far with the guitar but then again i've only had it for 1 day. i am amazed at the build quality of this guitar for a cheap priced guitar it is very well made. :) |

Location: Utah | Pretty much everybody has pulled a shim or two. Just loosen the strings a lot. Then gently lift the saddle up and you'll find 2 or 3 shims underneath. Pull one out and re-tune the guitar. It really is that easy. |

Location: CA | Are the Wylde strings made for acoustic guitars?
FWIW, I don't think ol' Zakk every played anything acoustic, and acoustics don't sound very good with strings made for electrics. |

I believe that on first glance few people would associate Zakk with acoustic guitars.
It's like nobody really thinks of Carlos or Jimi or Eddie or Yngwie playing acoustic guitars.
Although I am sure they can. :p |
