Seems like it went up for sale a year or two back, but I can't remember if Sam was the buyer or seller.

I had that guitar for several years.It was part of a purchase from a former Ovation employee .Me and a friend in california bought 9 Ovations total from the employee.Couple of adamas'(including serial #79,dark brown top),several solidbody proto's and two with this soundhole design .This was a prototype wood top adamas classical.Has the kaman music group label inside with WTC and date of completion.Best Ovation classical guitar i have ever played.There is also a 12 string elite version with this soundhole configuration..Only two i know of..I guess ovation did not like the design and scrapped the idea.

They look like bubbles in 3D. Lawrence Welk would have gone nuts over this.

Great call.
It totally looks like someone was having a little to much fun with a kaleidascope in the 70's..I'm sure it sounds great though. I generally don't like to feel dizzy while looking at my guitars though!

I agree. The mini rosettes don't do it for me.

Although I think that standard leaf inlay is more pleasing to the eye, I quite like these 3D circular inlays. Cool concept.
