I would really like to try one of the textured top twelve strings. Anyone willing to part with one?
Would like to hear from those with an interesting 12 string multi-hole of any kind!
Doesn't have to be pretty,although they all are.
Sales or Trade ideas are welcome! |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I want a textured top 12 string too, but not a shallow bowl, which seem to be the ones I find. The shallows are awesome, played an adamas 12 string with a shallow bowl at Al's once that was really sweet, but I'd still rather purchase a deeper bowl. They are hard to find.
Good luck!

I might have to make a serious run at this one. |

The photography looks almost too good! I am sure this one will go high (for me) but it's OK to dream.
The AI 12 DB market has been a little dry lately so there is bound to be significant interest. |

Location: SoCal | one thing to consider, the factory current -8 is darker than the original -8. don't misunderstand, the guitar is beautiful but it is a darker blue.
here is a photo of mine next to -7's (3 Adamas I and an Adamas II)

Location: SoCal | $2,000 would be a steal...not sure of the pre-amp in the eBay one but a new one w/OP-50/XLR (or OP-Pro) would be a long wait (custom order) & over $2,600. |

| Dave, I’ll take that as a compliment, I worked hard on the pictures. I couldn’t find any catalog picture of a 12 string with the optima preamp. You may be thinking of the cover of the 94-ovation catalog with a black six string on the cover or the 97 catalog that has a 1687-8 inside. As I recall, ovation catalogs never show the label through the sound holes.
Hers a tip for you guys on this thread. You’ll have to anty-up 16 to be a player. I’ll be amazed if it sees that. If any of the OFC members win and mention this thread I’ll pay the shipping and throw in my old Adamas two knob owners guide.
Dave, I can’t imagine you need another guitar but if you bid and win, I’d deliver the guitar just to see your collection. But then I’m just over her in Avondale.

I apologize for doubting your picture origination. Please consider it a compliment for the quality of your photography as well as one of the quirks of working with Ebay. Very nice!
Please disregard the ebay question you got from fishgiven (me).
If I thought it would only go around $1600 I'd be unloading some of my own stuff to pay for it! You have given me the worst case of GAS I have had in a while! |

Location: SoCal | Mike/MWOODY - yes, the early two-knobber is a textured top and looks like it would be easy for the service dept to fix it up.
Well, Mike/MSB said you needed $1,600 to be a player and now we know that the reserve is $1,600.
Well, I have three Adamas I 6-strs and an Adamas II 6-str...my 12-str feels a little lonely. Might need an older sister. :D |

| I went through MCRD in 66. I guess I was in the Nam, Dong Hoa, 27th Marines by 68. Bought my first ovation on R&R in Hong Cong. I played a lot of Dylan over there.

The search continues......but maybe I will just consider custom ordering one.....not much more that Mike's sold for. |
