what is "high action" on a guitar?

Action is how hard you have to press the strings . This guitar is pretty easy I would say it's medium to low action, it's beginner friendly for sure, I have never played before and I was able to play pretty much straight out of the box.. Hope this helped :)

Action was ok in the guitar that I bought, it was very soft and easy to play. In fact I bought it for that very reason, it was for my brother who is a guitar newbie.I am pretty sure that your ovation has some degree of adjustability, if it is beyond that, some sort of warranty might apply.

yeah, the description of this unit makes you think that whoever wrote it was either high or talking about a totally different item. get a mic stand and put the mic in front of your guitar is the only real answer to your question I think.

That's why they built the tone of four sought-after amp tones (Clean, Crunch, Metal, and Insane), six effects, and loads of presets into the Line 6 Spider IV 15 combo! You get it all: vintage and modern amps, effects, even a huge collection of presets crafted by top players! That said, this is a practice amp. It does not have the readout of the different presets and is not powerful enough for performance use.

The action is adjustable at the bridge; mine is set quite low, with no buzzing of the strings inadvertently hitting against the frets. I find this guitar extremely easy and satisfying to play.

The pedal acts just like a wah pedal does on most effects that utilize the wah function. I believe there are a few effects/combinations where it does sort of act like a "volume," but I think what it actually does is change the intensity of the effect, almost like turning it on/off, but not quite totally killing the effect altogether. I would highly recommend it - I love mine. Combined with the Fender Fuse software that I use, you can create almost any sound known to man, even with cheap equipment.

Hi action, low action, I don't know. But the tone is beautiful and it's very easy to play.

It sound just like a normal Spanish guitar,probably not quite as loud but enough to gig with. The sound is bright like a flamenco guitar. The shallow body does not reduce the sound that much.

The action is definitely high. Good for building finger strength, in my opinion, but this one sounds a bit dirty if you lower it too much - especially if you play with a pick.

Yes. The guitar we received has low action and light strings. Easy on the fingers. Very happy with it.

as my son has grown, its easier for him to play. I wouldnt say the action is particularly high. he is learning to play closer to the fret bar to eliminate buzz

This is much more than a decent amp. You will have so much fun with the different modes fine-tuning the sound of your guitar.

I no longer own this guitar. I am not sure whether it has one or not. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck!!

It's got Audio Tap, which is achieved by strumming the guitar as opposed to tapping with your foot. Check out the Users Guide for the pedal, should provide more details. Happy playing!

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

A friend of mine runs a custom instrument repair shop in California. Unlike Guitar Center, he inspects and sets the action on ALL guitars in his shop. He immediately returns any instrument which has a defect of any kind. Any serious knowledgeable player knows what I am getting at. So if one is concerned about the action, buy the guitar from a reputable shop, or pay to have the instrument "tuned" at a such a shop. It really is worth the money.

Steve, the neck is thru, NOT bolted on. I bought this for my son, who is starting to play. As I have been playing for 30 years, I did not want a $300 guitar that wouldn't stay in tune, and a new guitar needs to be bought in a year. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a very good looking guitar, the quilted maple is nice. Quality hardware with Duncan pickups, and Grover tuners. The pickups having a push pull pot to switch to single coils is a nice bonus. You do get hum with the single coil, but that is not the guitar's fault. Action is low, feels good to play. Sounds good too. I feel like I got a good deal on this axe.
