Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | A couple of Adamas' made brief appearances on the 2011 Kennedy Center Honors including Neil Diamond's #34 OSH. My son's girlfriend was watching with us and I said, "Hey, that's an original slothead [#34] and I have #41." I don't think she was impressed.
She must have her priorities all screwed up. ;) |

Do you have any pics of your collection posted anywhere? There looks to be some interesting examples in your tag-line. |

Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | Hi Wayne,
It's a pretty small collection. My tag-line is the serial numbers of my 4 oldest guitars.
Ovation #045
Ovation #093
Adamas #041
Adamas #173
This makes me think I need to put together a web page where they're all in one place. |

Picasa web albums on google works well if you haven't tried it. Example (plus I get to show off my Adamas at the same time):

By the way, that's a beautiful collection already. When did you come across O45, O93 and A41? |

...sounds like heaven. Thanks, and I agree on both points. It's the guitar that I always return to after I've strayed for whatever reason. It's noticably heavier than the OSH, but I attribute that to the Kaman bar. It sounds so, for lack of better words, woody. I'd put it up against any dreadnaught on the planet, but then again wasn't that the plan from the beginning? I occassionally take it into the local music shops just to see their reaction when they hear it, especially the young ones. "Man, this is epic!" |
