Ok. As many of you know I'm looking for some of my uncles guitars. I have a question though. I'm getting numerous places stating the Serial Number on the
Adamas II 1885-NB5 SSB with Optima Electronics- Textured Top
as S/N #792

However, if I look up on the ovation site with the adamas codes, it is showing it should be between 6279-13020 as they made them from 1992-1997

HOWEVER, looking at the
OFC Members Serial Number List http://www.ovationgallery.com/
very few of them have serial numbers that fall in that range. In fact, the top one under Adamas II is
Serial Number # 972 Dave Patrick 1885 -5 Black 12-string SS Cutaway

Is it possible that #792 is the correct serial number???
Makes me think the 1992 Collectors Edition might not be # 792 of 1,995???

I believe (non original slothead) Adamas numbers start at "77" and run up from there.

Adamas serial numbers only count Adamas guitars. They are different than Ovation serial numbers. For example, my OFC slothead Adamas has a serial number in the 22,000 range whereas my GC RI, which is about a year and a half old has a serial number in the 600,000 range. One measures Adamii and one measures Ovations.
