## Questions & Answers

**Q: 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?**
A: yes you can adjust the neck.  There is an access panel on the back

**Q: where is this guitar made?**
A: Label inside guitar, looking through the sound holes, says "Made in China".

**Q: How secure is it in shipping?**
A: 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.

**Q: Does the guitar come with a case?**
A: 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.
