Location: On The Fringe Of Ground Zero		In the near future as my playing improves I'd like to get a nylon string crossover guitar for jazz playing. There are many guitars to choose from but I'm curious what models some of you play and if anyone owns the Adamas 1769ADII Dimeola model, if so what they thought of it.

Location: SoCal		Take a look at the 1773LX for a nylon string.

Several people here own ADII's....

Location: south east Michigan		Funny you mention the AD-II. I have put aside the new EliteT and have been playing the AD-II exclusivly. I'm falling in love with it all over again.

For the sake of accuracy, the AD-II is not an Adamas model.

It's not? But it has the funny sound holes up in the corners. Doesn't that make it an Adamas?

Location: Chicago		User's perspective: I love the round tone of my 1769 ADII but was not crazy about the OP PRO. John Budny at the MotherShip kindly forwarded the OP STUDIO preamp as a retrofit. It offers an AWSEOME ugrade of the plugged-in sound. Unfortunately my guitar has some wiring problems (buzzing, battery light stays on etc.) So it may be back to the factory for a while. Bottom line: the 1769 AD II has some sterling qualities.

Gotta say, tho: my stalwart favorite is the acoustic 1117 Legend (1974) fitted with a Fishman ProFix pickup-preamp system. NICE. I guess I bonded with the "My Goal's Beyond Sound" around 1970 and have never changed.....

Location: On The Fringe Of Ground Zero		My error Slipkid and cholloway are correct. The DiMeola is listed in the Ovation Catalog as the CUSTOM LEGEND Model 1769-ADII and it has a round soundhole.

I just love the Spanish language...

No biggie.
Just a minor course correction.
