Hey gang-

Wondering about the action on my Adamas 12 string. On my elite and custom legend, under the pickup (which has the triangular shape..with the strings touching at the peak) had shims under it that could be removed to lower the action. On my Adamas, however, the pickup is not the same design, it is much narrower (no triangular shape, about 1/8" wide) and there are no shims under it.

I bought this Adamas used, so I don't know if it came with shims under it (they aren't there now), though if it did, they would have to be very slim and hard to access.

The action is much higher than on my other ovations, and I'd like to lower it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Must be an SMT ot CVT. Sounds like you have a trubalance pickup. If there's no shims you'll need to have the saddle-slot routed a little lower.
