Inside, the Contour bowl is very close to the same cubic inches as a deep bowl, but the bottom part of the bowl looks like it's been pushed in. At first I wasn't so sure if I liked it or not, but now I like mine as well as my deep bowls, sound wise.

From Ovation Website:
"Contour Bowl - The newest addition to the Ovation line is made from lightweight composite, the Lyrachord GS body produces maximum acoustic response, with the feel of a smaller body instrument. Designed to fit the contour of the player's body..."



My statment about the "New O" may have been unclear. I meant to say, that if you're looking to by a current NEW model Ovation, the 2774LX is probably the best suited for what you're wanting. Not perfect, but the closest.

If I were to by a new Ovation, that's probably the one I would buy.

Again, talk to Al (goes by username Alpep here on the forum) if you want to have one custom made exactly to your specifications. His contact info can also be found on his website www.lostartvintage.com . He may even have something currently in stock that's not on the normal Ovation pricelist. He's worth talking to for sure.

That's our shorthand here on this board for the Adamas U681T. If you search the archives here for opinions and reviews you'll see this guitar referred to as UTE more often than U681T.

I did not get your reply. Perhaps you should email me.

By the way, UTE is the nickname for the Adamas u681t-5. Only 100 Utes were made, so you won't find one in any store anymore. It was built as a fingerstyle guitar, and is definitely worth looking into.
