Review: Magnifique objet. - Superbe guitare vraiment magnifique. Au niveau du son, c'est puissant, assez métallique. La première est arrivée avec la table abîmée, retournée au vendeur qui a aussitôt envoyé une guitare de remplacement en un seul morceau cette fois. Merci au vendeur très réactif.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Seen a review of someone who bought this and he said you cannot adjust the neck truss rod because you can't get to from the body, true?**
A: yes you can adjust the neck.  There is an access panel on the back

**Q: where is this guitar made?**
A: Label inside guitar, looking through the sound holes, says "Made in China".

**Q: How secure is it in shipping?**
A: UNLESS IT IS SHIPPED INSIDE IT'S CASE, I WOULD NEVER TRUST A GUITAR'S SAFETY IN SHIPPING.  NOTICE NO CASE IS AVAILABLKE FOR IT ON AMAZON AND I DOUBT THE WAREHOUSE WOULD PUT IT INN THE CASE EVEN IF THERE WERE. STCK TO SWEETWATER.

**Q: Does the guitar come with a case?**
A: This is a Mid-Depth guitar and the factory cases are models 8158 and 9158. I bought my 8158 from ProAudioStar in New York shortly after Ovation sold it's name off to drum manufacturer. I've never seen this case and guitar sold as a package.May be tough to find since products under Ovation's name at present are not being made and the new brand owner has not formally announced their plans at this time.

### ⭐⭐⭐ ATTENZIONE !! SE NON VOLETE SPENDERE ALTRI SOLDI
*by P***9 on 14 May 2022*

SE NON VOLETE SPENDERE ALTRI SOLDI per rendere questa chitarra uno strumento professionale pronto all'uso. La chitarra è molto bella esteticamente, il piano armonico di acero "spalted" è accoppiato a uno di abete, e il suono, la timbrica e gli armonici, sono molto buoni sia acustici che amplificati. I problemi riguardano il manico, che ha avuto bisogno di una rettifica ( eseguita alla perfezione da un liutaio certificato ) e dell'acquisto di meccaniche NUOVE, in quanto quelle originali OVATION non tenevano l'accordatura ( e non sto parlando di strumming pesante ma di finger picking abbastanza morbido ). Le nuove GOTOH tengono l'accordatura per un intero concerto, e essendo identiche alle originali è stato possibile sostituirle semplicemente svitando le vecchie e avvitando le nuove. Tengo a precisare che l'acquisto è stato fatto per onorare un contratto per diverse serate in jazz-clubs, cosa che rendeva necessario lo strumento ( quindi non restituibile per avviare la procedura di reso o di sostituzione ). Il venditore di Amazon Marketplace ( a anche il distributore europeo ), informati del problema, si sono rifiutati di "condividere" il problema, appellandosi rigidamente alle procedure di garanzia o di reso. Ho fornito le foto che documentano problema e soluzione, e mi sono offerto di spedire, al venditore o al distributore, le meccaniche Ovation fallate, ma non ho ricevuto ulteriore risposta.
