Location: Florida | I have an MM68 Mandolin and the neck/fretboard seems to be pulling from up the top after it joins the body.
I took it to a luthier who said it was supposed to be like that
the action up the neck is very high as well
thanks

Location: Florida | thanks for the reply. As you can see, the action on my mando is very high, almost unplayable. What have you done to help your setup and lower the action. I took mine to a local luthier, it cost me $90 and it was worse than before I gave it to him. Now I'm looking at taking it to a Factory auth Ovation repair . |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Have you looked under the bridge? These usually ship with a shim or three that can be removed to lower the action. |

Location: Florida | I did contact the factory, and they said to take it to a local Authorized Factory Service luthier, in my case that is Guitars Ashore in Ft Myers, FL, so I guess that's what I'll do |
