Location: Decatur, Georgia | Well, I made the jump from my pawn shop Applause to a 1999 Bronze Cross-weave Adamas. Yes, I bought the center-hole W591 that was offered on eb*y recently.
Now, for the understatement - Boy, am I excited! Unpacked it yesterday; put new strings on it, and I'm in heaven. Now I just have to bring my skills up to the level of the instrument.
Happy in Decatur, GA

Unfortuately, you have probably now started to develop GAS.....a serious medical condition only alliviated buy purchasing more Ovations of different size, color and flavor! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Congrats. That's a pretty big jump! Like scooter to KZ1000. WOW! I must admit, I do prefer the looks of a center hole guitar. Something about being able to look right in there while you play. Actually see the kerfing and braces (on wooden guitars). Sorta cool. |

It wasn't until I was about 26 years old when I got my first set of eyeglasses. No more U-turns for missed streets! |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | John, I actually did that upgrade as well.....my first U.S.-made Ovation product was my 1976 Applause AA14-4, my next was my Adamas Melissa Etheridge 12-string, so I can appreciate the change in "level" you're going through.....

Location: East Tennessee | Congratulations John,
Both guitars begin with "A" and have an "O" in their family tree. I'm sure you will enjoy your new addition. Purchasing a new quality guitar has been known to produce GAS. :cool: |
