Location: Chehalis, Washington | I've gone over as much material as I can fifteen seconds at a time, and can't seem to figure out why some O's/A's have epaulets that turn out, while the majority seem to point in. My 1881 points out, as do a few Adamas (II?) models that I've seen, but almost all others, including all the Elites I've found point in.
Why the difference? |

Location: Upper Left USA | The best place to do a visual recon is at www.ovationtribute.com where there is a picture of nearly everything (no Custom Elite 12 strings with a contour bowl).
I believe various internal artistic struggles took place over the years but for the most part the elites are "standardized" and the Adamas line had more differences.
BTW - Did you pick up a Mother's Day card yet or do I need to get one for you? :rolleyes: |

You forgot the cats?
C759LX-Koa - Nice try but it may need more soundholes to be right! That would be a great guitar to borrow! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Looks like the 88, 90, 92 and 98 Collector's were outies. All the rest are innies. SWMBO got her Honda Pilot yesterday for Mother's Day, so we're calling the 87 Collector's my Father's Day present. It would be nice if it gets here tomorrow, my daughter's birthday, who was born in 87. Fed Ex ground seems awfully slow. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | They all started as innies. Then one day Glen's mom put them on upside down and DAMN if the guitar didn't sound WAY better. The engineers looked into it and determined that outies let the top vibrate better right down the center. And THAT is the reason that outies always sound better. You heard it here first. Dave |

I'm sitting here in the corporate boardroom, just finished deciding a strategy for an extremely well known name brand company and just like you say Bill, it came down to a flip of a coin!

Dave Oh man ... so now I gotta go peel them off of my 1758 and 1718, fill and redrill the holes, and flip them over. Gonna be a real pain on the LX's ...
Hey Dave, what do I need to do with the T? Should I fill and redrill those holes too? |

Innies or Outies?
