Location: Saginaw, MI | I have an Adamas 1597, 2001. I love th guitar, but about a year ago something happened with the electronics that caused the battery to drain almost immediately. I sent it back in to ovation, and they replace the mixer box, and that solved the battery problem, but now there is a feedback type hum when plugged in. If I touch the jack of the cable where it enters the guitar it goes completely away, leading me to think it is some sort of grounding issue. I would love any ideas or feedback before I just take it back and send it away for so long again. Thank, Del. |

Check the pickup connection to the preamp. They connect via a mini plug - make sure it's fully inserted into the jack on the can.
Check the output jack soldered connections for loose or frayed wires. I would actually take the nut off so you can get a good look at it through the hatch. |

Location: Saginaw, MI | Hey, I'm a newbie and i surmise that WTF must mean world trade federation. I'll definately tell them that when I call. Thanks for a number to try if I can't figure it out. Del. |

Don't worry, they'll know what WTF means, after you explain they put a new preamp in it and now it hums... |
