Location: Wooster, Ohio | I always lower the bridge for the best playability. I know that I am sacrificing tone but I love a low action. I have a small amp at home and I find that plugged in the lowing of the action makes no real difference. The low action of ovation is what drew me to that guitar. Still some of the best action in the industry.

Location: Idaho | Maybe I am getting too fussy, but I demand both playability and sound. Not so much what other peoples's opinions are, but what I hear and feel. Probably why I keep the roundbacks. |

Location: Cherry Hill, NJ | The tone on Ovations suffer more than other acoustics when the action is too low. That being said, because of Ovation's neck design, you don't need to set the action too low. The necks on Ovations are sleek, more like electrics that fat dreadnought necks. I would say that most of the folks on this board bought Ovations for their playability. |

Then I found out how great the necks were. |
