Location: Maine | Hello to all.. I just joined and have found this site so far to be a wealth of info.
I have a WOOD top Adamas(natural)Acoustic only. It has the carved peghead and bridge, as well as the carved trim around the top. How ever it does not have any identifying serial number or name plate inside the guitar. There is no evidence of one ever being there. It is not a cut away etiher. any idea on how I could further Identify the vintage of this guitar.? ... thanks in advance. |

| If there is no serial on the back of the peg head you might have either a cute baby or a hot piece. Nice guitar anyways. What color is it.??? |

Location: Maine | not sure what you mean by "Cute baby" ??
anyway.. Guitar is Natural Wood color. No tinting, just the wood has naturally darkened over time. has std leaf design on either side of the neck. . back is std ovation brown w/ textured bowl. Its a great guitar for looks. always get attention... Its in flawless shape and plays as well as it looks.
Has the round hatch cover in the back, and the ovation fan bracing inside.
If I cn grab a photo of it I will try...

Location: 6 String Ranch | small point, guitars from this vintage didn't have the s/n on the back of the peghead, they were on lables in the bowl. This guitar would have had one of the tan custom guitar lables and the s/n is probably the date is was done. Let's see a pic. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Sam yu can get to the pictures by creating a link... if you know the filename, www.ovationfanclub.com/gallery/. Also, you can search on the name of the guitar to find your original post and just edit-it and resave it..(you don't really have to change anything, just go into the edit mode and re-save it) |

Location: Maine | I snapped some pics of the Adamas... however I read in the rules no posts in messages..
I can upload these to the site if thats possible (not great quality as I dont have a proper digital camera) but you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Alpep.. I looked at your website for your wood top Adamas, but I only saw the dreadnaught style.. this guitar is not like that. |

| I may have mistaken it for a Century guitar. I cant remember if they were of the time of the laser. I am sure there may have been 2nds. Cool baby means legit but odd guitar. Maybe the label dried up and fell out.
