| Hi,
I have what I believe is an Adamas 1687-9. I think it was made circa 1980. I'd welcome any help in confirming what model this is and anything else about them that you'd care to add.
Here is a link to pictures on Photobucket.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Looks like an Adamas.
The model number is on the end of the long rectangular sticker.
On the top of the sticker is the serial number and the "vibrometer" number.
Does the sticker have a Signature on it.
HERE are a bunch of Adamas I guitars for you to compare yours to... at ovationtribute.com

| The sticker says:
The signature is CW Kaman II
Then in printed script "Adamas by Ovation"
and then No. 11xx-91, 1687-9
What is the "vibrometer" number?
thanks,
John |

| Thanks everyone for your help.
Wow - vibrometer! I saw where there were a collection of vibrometer plots - graphs of individual Ovations arranged by serial number. That's detail oriented.
