Location: Waterloo, IL | I am currently at home for a few days due to some unfortunate circumstances. While I am here, I need to get a truss wrench to take back with me for my 1711 Balladeer. The guitar is curently on the ship in the Indian Ocean, patiently awaiting my return in a few more days.
What size is the truss wrench for a 1711 Balladeer? Thanks.

Location: The Shop | 3/16" but you better get a long one, that nut is way up there in that body. You could call cust. service and get a factory one. Good luck |

Location: Zion, Illinois | I called them last week about a truss rod wrench for my Elite and Adamas. It arrived Monday morning. What a great Customer Service Department!
I still don't like the truss rod adjustment inside the body. Any idea why Ovation went with that design?

Location: Scotland | Having the truss rod access at the head adds weakness to an already vunerable area. So while it's a little more difficult to get at, having the adjustment at the body means the guitar has less chance of a neck-break if the headstock takes a whack. The 2002 Collectors edition reverted back to the head-end adjustment because they couldn't fit the K-bar assembly into it's very thin neck. |
