Originally posted by rlovison:Of course it's more difficult to repair than a bolt on neck but geez, usually when you need a neck reset isn't this due to some problem in the soundboard causing the bridge to rise?Richard /QBThe last photo posted by OMA (from the Wizz ) is my 12 string, which The Wizz refretted and re-set the neck. Of course, that might change if I become attached to it.: )When I asked why the decision was made to change to a dovetailed joint, the tech said he didn't know as they are not told the reasons for design changes.I'm more interested in the playability and quality of sound in a guitar but if both are the same in the LX and AX models, I would have preferred an LX.Posted 8:36 AM (#352566 - in reply to #352539) Subject: Re: Stand Elite 2778 AX vs LXJoined:April 2008 Posts: 2970 Location: Sydney, Australia. ![]() I was told it could and any authorized Ovation repair shop should be able to do it. Yes, they don't cost $5000, but $600+ for an AX is still a lot of money to a lot of people.Posted 5:21 PM (#352565 - in reply to #352539) Subject: Re: Stand Elite 2778 AX vs LXJoined:October 2011 Posts: 22 Location: MassachusettsThanks for posting the photographs.I called KMC Music and asked if the 2778AX could have its neck reset. But here is one from The Wizz that sorta shows the similarity.I cannot find a photo of an LX neck joint, and I ain't gonna take one of mine apart to show you.But USA Ovations had/have a repairable neck joint for much less than $5000.And yes, I know that a well-made guitar should not need a neck reset for a long time.But the fact that AX's and Celebrity's are made in a way that is unrepairable does not give me confidence that they are made to last a long time. ![]() An LX is designed to Keep.The AX is a throw-away guitar.BTW- Taylors have bolt-on necks.Which look remarkably similar to USA Ovation neck attachments.I cannot find the photo I was looking for.
