Location: Upper Left USA | Well at least 2 more Ovations are tuned at the GC in Tacoma now. Played a GC771, the Cedar topped special as well as the Black Elite T. Didn't see and Adami.
Moved on the Ted Brown where I tuned a few more including the 12 fret to body Adamas with the Solid Epaulets. It does have the sound!
Then into a Hail storm and home to ship a 1537 back to Mother... |

Location: south east Michigan | Yesterday at GC I tuned up, then played a shallow bowl LX Balladeer.
I was impressed.
I... the proto-typical deep bowl snob was impressed! |

Woody,
Glad to see your interventions total went up. You were a long time on 13. :D |

Maybe I'll win the lottery...do you still have to play to win? |

I'd never experienced the "12-fret slothead" phenomenon before I played a 1680, but I am a believer now! |

Location: SoCal | I played Jeff's Custom U681 while in New Jersey and it was the cat's ass! Easily one of the best guitars I have ever played. To my ears, the mid depth bowl tamed the bass to perfect levels. I thought it was much more balanced that a regular Ute..... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yup, I have to agree with Moody. Jeff's mid depth custom is one of the absolute best sounding Adamas guitars I have ever played. Acoustic only, like a real guitar should be.
I hate to admit that I actually think it DOES sound better than my acoustic only U681. The mid depth bowl and cutaway tames the boominess. The U681 is a great sounding guitar alone or in a small group. Cuts right through the mix. But it's a bitch to record. I was doing some stuff last weekend and I could not tame it. I ended up using a wooden box guitar.
I'm sure the Premier sounds amazing, probably very similar to the U681. Would be interesting to do a side by side comparison. Has anyone here bought one?
