I had a S868 - sold it
Then I had a 1984 Collector - sold it
Then I had a 5868 Walnut - sold it
Then I had an Adamas 1881 - sold it.
All SSBs, all multi-holes, all different. In my humble opinion the "best" (whatever that means) one was the Adamas 1881 and looking to get another. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | So ignoring the Adamas I would say the 84C and 5868 are slightly better quality wise, I think they sound 'better' than the S868. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I have five SSBs, three Ovation and two Adamas models. Two of these are prototypes. Personally, my favorite is the Adamas 1881. It is the only one in the bunch that I regularly gig with. I also regularly use an Ovation 1567 for rehearsing with the band, but prefer the 1881 for performance. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I have a Custom Elite ssb, a C868LX-4, my Jewel. Al helped me special order her, and I just love her to pieces. She looks great, plays comfortably, and plugged in you don't hear how narrow she is. Unplugged, of course there's a difference, which the size 11 strings accentuates.
But...she is very good at what she's designed to do, and since I can't play the big sisters too much anymore, I'm so grateful to have her. Very comfortable, sitting or standing.
