My deepest thanks to John Budny, Kim Keller, and everyone else at the Mothership who worked on resurrecting #22234.
John, it is beautiful and sounds great! Thanks for the sparkle!
Al, thanks again for making the U681-12 happen for us.
Definitely the best acoustic 12-string out there...
now how about a longneck version of the U12?... and then I'm done ;) |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I will agree with my esteemed friend 100%. THIS is the best sounding Adamas 12 string I have ever heard. No disrespect to Adamas I or II, I've loved them both. But THIS is top dog in the 12 string kennel. Congrats Bruce.

PS - And YES, thank you Al for bringing another brillient idea to life for us members to enjoy. |

but if that's what it'll take to win you over to the dark side, so be it... I'll see you at Church on Sunday. |

It looks great in Lady Noah's arms!
It looked great swinging by itself in the hammock while we ate dinner!
I have not had it upstairs yet, but I'm sure it will look great next to my 6-string UTE!
As soon as we got the 6-string version, some of us kept asking Al about a 12-string. If you have a 6-string UTE, and did not get one of the 12-strings when AL made it happen for us, I advise you not to play the 12-string... you will hate yourself for not grabbing one (especially @ the price we paid). |

I WAS WARNED!!
I now have a 4 hour 12 string affliction and must call my physician.
Those of you that can view these beauties and resort to philosophy rather than lust are suffering from 12ED, the inability to completely perform a 12 string affliction.
Looking on , but unable to perform, you need my prescription drug, Ovat12pickophalis, which I can provide in a Jack Daniels bottle for the small price of $200, the presciption comes with a warning booklet, featuring every Ovation 12 string known to cause affliction. IF YOUR EYESIGHT GOES AWAY DO NOT CALL ME CALL AL!!!

Location: SoCal | Hi Kevin!
I'm glad you posted.
I assumed your hands and heart had a predominant roll bringing this guitar to life. We have other guitars that have come from your hands and they all have your trademark of finish and playability.
The LTD Viper came back home from vacationing in San Diego with Tony. That guitar really is a beauty. I have other EA68's, but the neck-angle you put into that guitar sets it above the rest. It gives the guitar life.
Floating around somewhere in the shop by you, is an EA58 being refinished in LTD-Nutmeg. I'd be honored if you'd give it that neck-angle when the neck is set... OK, I'm begging... please!
How about a hangtag containing the initials of the luthiers involved in a repair or custom work?
Until then... My deepest thanks to John, Kim, Kevin, and everyone else at the Mothership who worked on resurrecting #22234. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Jim's UTE is in pristine condition, I played it two weeks ago. It gave me the GAS for the UTE I just purchased. (That's right, GAS to delivery in a week!)
It would be a shame for him to sell it, BUT, a great guitar for someone that is looking for the U681T.
Hmmm...what could I do with two UTE's? |

I forgot just how good that one sounded and played. I swore I'd never never sell the UTE, but as traders do, I did. The 1537 will fill the void and then some. I only hope I don't have a moment of brain dead-ed-ness and put that one up. I think I need professional help.... :eek: :rolleyes: :p :D |

Congrats povation! If this is your first UTE, you are in for a treat. If not, you already know about it. I have played this one and it is wonderful. :D |
