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.
