Location: New Jersey | I did do a search on this question here but need some clarification.
I just got a 95 collector's edition (which I can't find any info on).
The action is a little high for my taste and I need to know what to do to lower it. I am weary about taking things apart and turning screws with allan wrenches because I dont know what im doing but if someone can give me good direction using small and easy to understand words :-) then i will give it a shot.
Thanks |

Location: Scotland | Refer to the post on compensated saddles. Except on non-electric models you should not sand any part of an Ovation saddle/pickup assemply. The piezo elements & saddle are integral. Action adjustments at the bridge should be via the shims or in extreme cases by routing the saddle slot. If that doesn't work it's a bridge-shave or a neck reset. |
