Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Yesterday, 2 of my 9 longitudinal braces on the underside of my Adamas 1597 soundboard, came loose. Now they vibrate horribly and the guitar is unplayable. I'v never had a structural problem with an O before so I'm looking for some advice. I bought this beauty off Ebay 3 years ago in like-new condition.
Is it safe to assume this is going to cost me $$ to have fixed? In other words, I assume the Ovations don't come with a life time warranty...especially for 2nd owners. Do I need to send it to the Mother ship for repair or is a local luthier OK?
Any helpful advice appreciated.

Don't think so Jim, but if you get Craftsman tools to repair it... |

My bet is that shipping costs more than the repair. A local authorized Repair might be in line. |
