Seen a review of someone who bought this and he said you cannot adjust the neck truss rod because you can't get to from the body, true?

yes you can adjust the neck. There is an access panel on the back

where is this guitar made?

Label inside guitar, looking through the sound holes, says "Made in China".

How secure is it in shipping?

UNLESS IT IS SHIPPED INSIDE IT'S CASE, I WOULD NEVER TRUST A GUITAR'S SAFETY IN SHIPPING. NOTICE NO CASE IS AVAILABLKE FOR IT ON AMAZON AND I DOUBT THE WAREHOUSE WOULD PUT IT INN THE CASE EVEN IF THERE WERE. STCK TO SWEETWATER.

Does the guitar come with a case?

This is a Mid-Depth guitar and the factory cases are models 8158 and 9158. I bought my 8158 from ProAudioStar in New York shortly after Ovation sold it's name off to drum manufacturer. I've never seen this case and guitar sold as a package.May be tough to find since products under Ovation's name at present are not being made and the new brand owner has not formally announced their plans at this time.
