Hello everyone

I have been a fan of ovation especially the Adamas I 1687 for as long as i can remember. However, I am not an expert and i don't know much about their history.

I am in the process of thinking to pull the trigger
on this adamas 1687-8






but I'm a bit hesitant because it doesn't seem to have much information of its history. Judging by the headstock and the number on the back possibly, do you guys think this is a reissue? an older model? ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to ask fellow forumites..

Is the reissue "better" than the original?

That's a reissue. Some say they are better, others like the older ones. Either way, it's hard to go wrong. Go for it.

Check with Al (alpep on this site) to see if he can get you one. He's the top Adamas dealer in the country.

I don't know where you could have found one for $1500, but that would have been an absolute steal! I would guess that for a new one you'd pay a bit more than that (but you'd also have a warranty. They are great guitars.....
