Location: Hanau, Hessen, Germany | Hello, hello,
I received my 1113 yesterday and I am wondering about the stringholder in the bridge. The "higher" part is pushing up the high e string while the "lower" part is on the bass side. Shouldn't this be the other way around?
Regards
Meuti |

Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | Meuti, what does the action look like around the 12th fret? As long as your clearances are correct and it plays okay, I wouldn't worry about which side of the saddle is higher. I had a Balladeer that looked exactly as you describe, but the action was good and it played nicely. If you're action is high on the 1st string and low on the 6th, then I'd look at reversing it. |

my both classicals are different, the 1713 nearly flat, only the high e string is a little lower. On my 1624 the lower e, a, d and high e are on the same level, g and h are a little lower.
I think it's individual for each one of the classicals.

happy birthday to you, sorry that I've forgotten!!
My brother's birthday was on 18th. Yesterday we all were at his little celebation of that.
We had a lot of fun. He also plays guitar, but was not a great fan of O's, till I bought my first really good one ('95C). Since that day, he bought a 1612 Costom Baladeer and my 1756 Legend 12 string and is an Ovation fan, too.
But he plays more electrical ones.

A quick question about the bridge on an 1113
