i played out with the limited tonight for 2 sets then listned while another guitarist played it...to my ears the damn low E and A strings sound out of tune when they are in tune. this is my first ovation solidbody and i just dont know what could be causing it. i even re-tuned it and checked it against my strobostomp and my intellatouch in a quiet room and it tunes perfect but when you finger it the damn notes sound out of tune...any ideas?? help please(no i was not drunk either).....jason

First... check/adjust the intonation on those two strings.

Here is the breadwinner manual hosted on Jerome\'s website.

I was not there... I heard that it was Fred who was hugging everyone.

thanks for the tip bruce. that fixed it. now it is in tune all the way up and down the neck.

i thanked fred and fred being his midest self(lol) said that he just held it till i was ready..so thank both of you guys...
i tell ya that thing sings thru a tube amp...i put in the hands of a pretty damn good player tonight and the tones that came out of that thing are unreal. and it seems like it will sustain for ever.its a winner..lol breadwinner literly. its made me a few bucks in the short time ive had it so far. we bonded well...i gotta ask fred again what strings he put on it. i think he said saverez nickles but im not sure...jason
