I believe that the frets on this neck, on this particular model , are all part of the fingerboard. Therefore any re-fret is impossible.
Talk to Ovation (Fender UK) via your local music shop as to the likelihood of acquiring a replacement neck.
Good luck.

hi , I’ve got an old ovation matrix 1132-4 with the metal neck . The frets are worn and need replacing . Is it possible to do this repair on this model or does it require a new neck ?.

Hi John,
It’s probably best to call me on the workshop number to discuss the possible issues.

I have two ovation folklore guitars. The pick up on one is fine and the other is spectalular. I’ve had both for 25 years and just recently the one that is spectalular the tone changed completely and now sounds like a regular cheap pick up. I’m absolutely devastated. Can you think of a reason why this may have happened? Or any suggestions in terms of repairs?

Thanks Dave, all in a day’s work.
I’m guessing that during manufacture Ovation glue the bridge to the soundboard before they are attached to the body on the LX (?) discuss.
