 | With all the talk about Ovation/Adamas 12 strings, it seems this model doesn't always get discussed that much.  So, how good is it? |

 | It's a very nice guitar.  I've played both the single and double epaulet versions.  They say Ovations get no respect.  That probably applies double for this model.  I doubt the signature on it helps sales.  Dave |

 | I really liked my ME-1598 Mark I that I had. A beautiful balanced bass in the singing ringing sound Ovation 12's are reknowned. I would have no hesitation picking up either version if the conditions were right.....soo many guitars so little money LOL. |

 | I own an Adamas 1598-MERB and I got to tell ya that the sound of it is louder and fuller than any other 12 string that I have played .The sustain is incredible. I cannot speak for the 1598-MERB-11 version for I have not played or heard one yet.Mine is set up low and it plays and sounds better than the $5000.00 Woodboxes that I have played at the stores.If you ever get the chance to pick one up Im sure that you will be extremly impressed with the guitar.GWB |
