One small comment, who the hell is in charge of artist relations? Can Adamas do no better than Bernie Williams as a featured artist? No disrespect to Bernie but how low do they go? Are Moody and I next on the list?

Also the slot head finally has an official list price $4999 .
...endorsee list's a bit thin on the ground though... |

| Reallynice, really fast.
Ditto on the endorsees.
Reference to the 12 fret Uterus model having it's tone affected/improved by the "shorter scale length" suggests this was written by someone with neither eyes, ears nor tape measure. Or possibly an idiot.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this lack of / totally incorrect technical stuff the very thing we were complaining about? |

It needs to be proofed.
I noticed the "scale length" error about the Uterus as well. It's not shorter (25-1/4) just pushed up and joined at 12th fret. |

You don't want them to be endorsed by anybody, otherwise you get a mishmash target buyer like Fernades. Adamas is definitly going for a sophisticated group ... and Bernie Williams is good! Plays good latin music. |

Location: Orange County, California | It still says "Shorter Scale Length" on the 30th
anniversary page.
"This 12-fret to the body Adamas has all the makings of a world-class, high-end acoustic/electric guitar. The calse places the bridge in the cneter of the lower bout of the body - the perfec spot for maximum vibration. Additionally, the OP Pro preamp and Ovation's Original Patented Pickup deliver a plugged-in sound that accurately reflect this guitar's rich tone"
Were they in a hurry or what?! 2 typos in 1 sentence.
It should say something like: The full scale length with neck meeting the body at the 12th fret places the bridge in the center of the lower bout of the body - The sweet spot for vibration and tone.... |

I went to the artist news section and it was blank with a note, more news to come later. That happen to any of you? or is it my computer? |

The text associated with 1983 year marker states the Elite top is .0125 inches thick. I'm thinking there's an extra 0 in there. Or maybe this criticism is pointless (which I find a decimal prospect). |
