Video: Ovation Truss Rod Access

When I wrote Truss Rods Made Easy, I mentioned that Ovation, bowl-back guitars, without a regular sound hole, had to have their truss rods adjusted through an access port around the back. I didn't have a guitar handy for a photo, though, and pretty much forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago when I was working on one. 

I took a quick video. 

And, since I'm essentially an excitable child, I felt the journey inside was just crying out for a horror-movie drone over it. 

No, you're a nerd!

The journey to the deepest, darkest, bowl-bowels of an Ovation-type guitar. When I was writing Truss Rods Made Easy, I didn't have a photo of the truss rod access on Ovation-style guitars with no sound hole (hint: it's around the back). Had one in the workshop recently and actually remembered to note it and video it.
