Does anyone know of a Western Washington repair expert? My guitar is in great shape, the problem is the strings are a little high off the fretboard. I'd like to get the neck adjusted and perhaps the bridge. I'm not willing to do this on my own. If possible, I'd like to watch the repair so I could do it myself the next time. :confused:

You might just need to take a shim or two out from under the saddle. Easy to do, and it will save you a few dollars.

MWoody, that's your baliwick. Can you do it, or make a referral?

Check in at the Tacoma Ted Brown Music and talk with the Manager or call ahead and see when their Luthier is in.
They always have a good one working on their stuff.

I could go through the process with you as well but I won't be headed to Tacoma until I start my shopping on the 18th... 8-J

Andrew, aka Edensharvest is in the Oly area too. He is a trustworthy and capable Ovationista too.

Sorry, I didn't see they didn't want to do their own work. I should read the whole post before I reply...

Ingrid... It's almost as easy as pulling an extra slice of cheese off of a cold sandwich. You MAY want to reconsider MWoody's offer for phone help.

To any and all Droid Owners:
Is there an APP for this?

To everyone, that you for all the advice. I was doing some roaming around and thinking about doing the bridge adjustment and truss rod adjustment. However, there was a long string of posts that ended up with something about the back end of a cow and I felt a little faint. I'll contact Edenheart and Ted Brown in Tacoma. Thanks again.

Ask them to show you how to do it yourself in the future. Also, we always love pictures of member's guitars...
