Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Can you please explain these two acronyms: Adamas SMT and CVT, what do they stand for, what is the difference? I have tried to find the answers, and looked on Ovation Tribute, but just don't understand what they are. Thank you in advance for your help!  | ||

Are these Adamas II? Or completely separate Models from the I & II's? The SMT has a wood like appearance but prettier,its the unidirectional carbon fiber with a killer laquer finish,if you see a ruby red graphite one it does a color change as the light shifts across it,the SMT and CVT both came after the Adamas I or II and are a totally separate catagory.call it the working man's adamas if you will,the ME is a SMT signature model 12 string made for melissa etheridge.

naellis58 - 2015-04-20 7:38 PM That's what I am getting!!!! You really are on a OA crusade it seems ... congrats. I actually asked the same question anout different tops some time ago and there may be some more info in older threads on the various top compositions and features. As a result I have beeen looking for a 1687 (RI) for some time, but obviously have not been nearly as diligent as you have been in tracking down the goodies. http://www.ovationfanclub.com/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=34292&posts=11&start=1 Edited by d'ovation 2015-04-21 12:20 PM | |||

And now I have seen the "Q" on the FB The Ovation Instruments Page, so I think I am pretty much up to speed on the acronyms!! | ||

I really like that SMT top!!! Thank You all for your help!! Action is High. Broken headstock. Looks like a crack in the finish by the low E string near bridge. Needs the frets leveled or replaced. Has been ridden hard and put away wet. You could probably reset the neck yourself. As well as do a better repair on the headstock. And live with the booboo on the top. But there are better guitars to spent $900 on. JMHO. | ||

I am not buying for a while, I just like to keep up on what is out there, and see all the different Ovations I have never seen. There is a Traveler on ebay right now, that I have never seen, even on The Ovation Tribute! Really different looking Little Beastie! But I am going to have you check over anything I see before I buy one if you don't mind? You really helped me on that Patriot/No Box debacle, and I really appreciate that!! Tony just sent me a picture of my 3 Adoptees that will be coming in soon, so I have to behave myself for a bit! LOL!!! (well, at least where it comes to Guitars!) I think these 3 will keep me very busy for a while, and I can't wait to hear the 2 Adamas in person, I have never heard one in person!!! And they are SO Gorgeous!! I think the 1719 CL-30 is probably the most Beautiful non-custom order I have ever seen! My new babies: 1719 CL-30, 1687-2 Adamas, Millenium Adamas CVT (I know what that means now!!!)
