Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | It's at Dream Guitars and has a pretty good price on it. If I had the money, none of you would have known about until I took pictures of it here in Poughkeepsie. Adamas 1187-247, #47 Re-Issue |

| You're killing me Patch!
I'm on the look out for a 1687.
But this is one really nice guitar. If it were blue I might not be able to resist.
I think you're real motivation for posting this now is that you've already got a month picked out for it on the Calendar. You just need it to find a good home in time to make it in this year. |

Location: SoCal | I have serial #003, believe I am the first "customer" to get one. Story is that a Rep spirited it out of the factory for one of his favorite dealers.
Drawback for some is that it is acoustic.
However, IMHO the only Adamas that is better is the original pre-production slothead at 3-4 times the cost (if you can find one).

Location: SoCal | I remember one night at Witko's, playing guitars. I went from Martins to Collings, to Taks, to Ovations. The guitar I kept coming back to was #47 of #47. Do I play my OFC slothead exclusively? No. Is it out on a stand and do I play it a lot? Hell yes! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If I had to pick a favorite, this would probably be it. When I had all my guitars out in one room I had the luxury of just taking the one off the wall that called to me the loudest. Most times it was the #47RI. We should be thankful to Ovation for making these available, which led to Al's ability to have the OFC Is made for some of us. I am thankful to Stephen for making mine available to me. |

Location: Jet City | My quick decision on buying the K1111 spawned a conversation at home about how maybe we should discuss any purchases over $xxxx amount dollars.
I wonder what sort of conversation would come up if i brought this home? Really there's only one way to find out...
If only I had the intestinal fortitude. That sure is a purdy one. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had made a "significant" guitar purchase one morning and was just waiting to inform the family accountant (wife) at the appropriate moment later in the day. Unfortunately Chase beat me to the punch when they called to verify the credit card purchase while I was out working in the yard. The cold meatloaf didn't taste so good but the guitar sure was a sweetie.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Good to see that even the CEO of the Ovation Gallery has to report to his CFO. I was just informed that the CEO of the man cave has to build a desk in it for the CFO's craft stuff. I'll have to run her out by practicing my slides, bends and power chords. |
