Hello
My beloved 1778T has a bow in the neck.
The action is higher on frets 4-9 than 1-3 and 9 upward.
I avoid neck adjustments as a rule.

Is this a standard guitar store fix?
Are there cautions submitting for adjustment specific to an ovation?

You can do this...
First, try lighter strings.
Otherwise, do an OFC search on how to adjust a truss rod.
Then do a YouTube search.

There are also instructions in a Manual on Ovation Tribute on page 22.
