Location: south east Michigan | Wow....those are some detailed pictures!
I like how the woodwork on the bridge is left a little rough. It makes them look much more hand crafted.
Isn't it nice to see them all new and shiney!
I see you got a picture of yourself playing that beauty! I think when most people try a guitar, the instinctive first chord to play is "D". |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | interesting serial #...21141...given the 12frets share that prefix and are numbered below and above it. 21138 and and 21168 for example. |

Location: SoCal | I suspect that the serial number is in the Adamas series and the guitars aren't all built sequentially within one model.
I played that same guitar at the NAMM show in January. Wonderful instrument. |

Location: Australia | From those pics it looks like they've done away with the resin pickguard which over time will be a good thing IMHO.
I have a 2002 special order 1687 and it doesn't have a blob of resin either. |

Location: Australia | That's interesting Moody. My 95' 1687 had a pickguard.
How's the Adamas as a 12 string ? I'm thinking of ordering one as a companion to my 6 (probably a "Big Red"). |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think the pickguard thing varies al over the place (depends how thick the goop was that day). I've got one guitar with a pretty thick and obvious goop-guard, some less thick, one that has no guard but the top has a slightly different hue in that area and yet another with non at all (goop machine was not working that day). or maybe someon epaid $845 extra and ordered it with no goop-guard.

| I think the stool he's sitting on is pretty neat as well. All music stores should have a simple box like this that has a set of headphones on a battery pack so you can plug in if you want.
Nice to see Ovation doing these Adamas 1 copies justice! They look every bit as nice as the olde versions many of us have. Do they make these in the old #7 color?? Beige/Blue
