Location: Vernon CT | Hep me figure out if what I did was crazy as I don't have a job (about 11 months more of severence pay)and I just got myself a 1719 30th commemorative Custom Legend for 2 guitars that I never play (Parkwood 320m and an Ibanez 12 string) plus $450.00 cash. I can't seem to find anything on it on the Ovation website can somebody help me post a picture? I think I got a
gorgeous guitar with great tone for a heck of a price. I'm not sure how many locations Falcetti's music has but they are having an incredible blowout sale!! Please tell me I made out as god as I think I did.
:D |

If you try to lower the action, let us know if you have a problem with the high E string hitting the bridge. My pickup sits way down deep in the bridge and I can't get the action as low as I'd like it. |
