So i missed a good opportunity to buy a (what turned out to be) Reissue of Adamas 1687. This has been a dream guitar since i was about 12yrs old and i have been looking/researching and wondering if anyone can answer a few questions.
What is the Adamas I 1687 GT? it seems to be priced higher than the Reissue. Is it because it's just a new model Ovation came out with? (new pick up?) Is there any difference with the 30th anniversary Reissue?
I've sort of came to the conclusion i won't find an "original" Adamas 1687-8 So i guess my options are either the 30th anniversary reissue or this GT version. Any thoughts? recommendations?
Much appreciate your knowledge and expertise!
Thanks in advance |

Certainly worth the phone call to check out what he might have available. |
