This is an Adamas W597T made "for export" in 2002.
I got it from Al.
Mid-Depth bowl (I think) and feels much lighter than my 1681.
It has a nice ring to it.
It has an Optima in it, but I think that I will be playing in more Acoustic.
(I've got many guitars to plug-in)


Yeah, it has a coupla blemishes. But I am gonna Play it, not Display it.

Schaller tunas with ebony buttons.


I just got it a coupla hours ago... I am gonna play it now.

Location: Sydney, Australia		Good snaffle OMA. I'm interested in your feedback about how it sounds. I used to have a W597 (non t) and I wonder how much difference the textured top makes.

Location: Phoenix AZ		Beautiful guitar !!! I own this same model and love the sound. I also like how the center "dark" color part is actually bare CF (no paint at all) just like the NWT 2080.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I took it out to play on the street for a coupla hours.
It sounds NICE.
Through an amp it sounds good due to the Optima.
It also has a Saddle that I have never seen before on an O.
The saddle has "steps" for each string... plus grooves for each string.

yeah... a really bad photo, so I searched the web and found this:

So, this is obviously an Ovation saddle...
But in 7+ years and over a hundred guitars, I have never seen one in-person.

Acoustically it just sounds Great all by itself.
The action is very nice and comfortable to play.
This is liable to become my go-to guitar.
So I may have to sell a bunch of guitars.

TAFKAR-- I have never played another W597 with a SMT or CVT finish, so I don't know.
I have compared a Textured 1778T to a Flame 1778t... and the Textured top sounded better.

Shirt on, please! I assume even OMA would wear pants in the video.
