Oh and by the way, have got an Elite from 1983 was it equipped with a nut made out of tusk ? the one that`s on it is made out of plastic and is a little high , that is, distance nut versus 1stfret is quite higher ,than distance 1stfret versus 2ndfret all other frets are fine , so was thinkin` changing plastic nut for a tusk one,yet there`s a shopkeeper who claims it needs a neckadjustment , but I can n`t detect a trussrod anywhere , as far as I know adjusting an Ovation is removing shims from saddle and/or shimming the nut , am I totally wrong here ?any advice will be greatly appreciated


:confused:

I'll put aside our little border skirmish for a moment...

the 1537 has a Kaman Bar in the neck....you need to peep through the access hatch...

You do know how to peep, don't you?

Actually to adjust the neck on your elite, you'll need that special long allen wrench, to get at it. Sometimes these come with the guitars or you can order on through Al. It's pretty easy to do and makes a difference. Denmark heh. You guys drawing anymore cartoons lately?
