| Hello all,
Many thanks to you all for your advice! It might seem premature, but I've been lurking for years and have only just joined up - thought it was about time.
Not much to say, really - I'm in Manchester (UK) and am very much an amateur in the true sens of the word - I love playing but am not that great! I do love my guitars though. I'd always wanted an Ovation since becoming a Pink Floyd fan, and finally got a Korean 1861 a few years ago. It was not long before I "needed" to upgrade, and I am very happy to also have a rather lovely 1719-30CM. Truth be told, I don't get on with it quite as well - probably beyond my abilities to get the best out of it. But there you go, I suppose GAS often wins over sound reasoning!
Anyway, looking forward to contributing when I can and to reading more of your thoughts and advice.
Cheers! |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Hi Mak,
Welcome to the mad house. Someone will be along shortly to grant you full access. The 1719 should purr like a kitten. Have you checked out the action (removing a shim from under the saddle, or tweaking the truss rod)? A good setup can make a huge difference in playability. |

| Thanks guys. Yeah, I've set it up properly and it is a lovely guitar - sounds and plays great, I suppose I just haven't gelled with it as well as I expected to having finally got it! I'll get there, I'm sure. Cheers! |
