Location: Seattle		Hello
My beloved 1778T has a bow in the neck.
The action is higher on frets 4-9 than 1-3 and 9 upward.
I avoid neck adjustments as a rule.

Is this a standard guitar store fix?
Are there cautions submitting for adjustment specific to an ovation?

First, try lighter strings.
Otherwise, do an OFC search on how to adjust a truss rod.
Then do a YouTube search.

There are also instructions in a Manual on Ovation Tribute on page 22.
