Just thinking out loud here but it'd be ok with me if this was "pinned" to the top or put in the reference area.

You know, just saying I wouldn't mind is all.

I updated the reference section to include a link to the latest data and it does not require adobe or Excel. This is not the final form, which will take some work, but at least the data is available for those that need it. Many thanks to those who have contributed to this project. This may be one of the best, if not the best, and certainly one of the most needed features on the site. Again thanks for everyone's hard work.

Wasn't the 1113 a 12 fretter, though? Only mistake I noticed. I've spent way too much time trying to "crack the Ovation code" without success. This is great.

Does anyone around here besides me use Microsoft Access? If interested I can make this a very easily searchable database. For example, type in "Folklore" and it'll return all the different Folklore models. Or type in "SS" and it'll return all the models that had supershallow bowls. Let me know if this is something others could use. Dave

Uh, yeah, I do.

guys that rocks. Here are a couple of things I noticed.
1) there is no model 1337 (acoustic only elite-of 1537 fame),
2)there is no 1897 adamas. I know adamas made a shallow bowl smt 6 string, cause it's sitting at home.
3)the adamas three (III) is model # 1591-bcb, the adamas model 6581 is for the deep bowl center hole smt model. (While the adamas 6591 is for the medium deep bowl with center hole).
4)At the end I am confused by the u681. Should this be u681t ??, But why is it listed as center hole. IF THIS IS JUST ME -I TOTALLT APOLOGIZE HERE AND NOW...... and is u691 ttenn's new adamas?? or what??
whoever worked on this is gets my gratitude tonight..thanks, peace mike

umm, two more things,..the 1127 was started before 1971.. and the breadwinner is an electric (I would guess), not an acoustic.. I still can't believe how cool this is. mike

1687 is an adamas I,

and here is a question. can it be that the first a/e 12 string ovation was in 1979??? I would have thought the 1618 was built earlier then 1979, and I thought the 1658 cl 12 was built earlier then 1979 as well. You guys are going to hat e me- I can sense it... :eek:
