Hello All, new to forum, but not new to Ovation. Have an Elite in excellent condition, and a Ruby Red 1597 Adamas that unfortunately needs a neck reset. Any recommendations for luthier experienced enough to do this right?

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

The standby answer to this question it to return it to the "MotherShip" (Ovation Factory)
This is in New Hartford Connecticut. You can call them during East Coast Business hours.
1-800-552-4681... Choose John Budny from the voice prompts.
Or email them... info@ovationguitars.com

An Adamas neck is attached with two bolts (maybe three).
Any guitar tech with a little Adamas experience (maybe You) could loosen the strings to slack...
Loosen the two bolts one turn...
Hold the neck in the correct position...
Then tighten them back up.
That might cure your problem.

But contact Ovation first if you are not comfortable with doing this yourself.
