Location: Nahant, MA		My long-awaited 1869! You might remember I sent it away for a new satin finish sinker redwood top and a repaired ear...but along the way I got a little crazy and John and crew outdid themselves! It's been reborn as an 1881-x, complete with inlaid wood epaulets, suspension ring, and OP/PRO Studio/XLR. The original Custom Legend carved bridge has been stained black. It's certainly the only Adamas WT shallow bowl, and definitely the only one with a CL neck and Ovation MOP logo. I think it will also need some ebony tuner buttons.

The sound? A lot like the 1984C I just gave up, but with a more crisp sound. And plenty loud!

Take a look...Mother does it again!
Carol.

Location: Tennessee		There's no doubt that one was worth the wait.

I did a double take on the neck ... not used to seeing an elite-style top without the extended fingerboard. What's the story on the fretboard binding? Did it originally have white binding like most CLs?

Location: Nahant, MA		Thanks, folks. It did originally have white binding on the neck and I asked them to change it to black. That's why I ended up with the refret. I kinda like it...

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Unique and personal. Excellent creation, Carol, wonderful execution, and the features (SB and preamp) are my favorites as well. I agree with your idea to add ebony buttons. These are the kinds of one-off guitars that we keep forever. Enjoy it!

I think they also have some on the 'bay.

Thanks

Congrats Carol!
