Joined: January 2005 Posts: 4903 Location: Phoenix AZ | The Ovation factory in New Hartford CT makes a small line (5-6 models) of guitars called Adamas. The difference from Ovation guitars is that the Adamas line does not have traditional wooden tops. The tops are made out of woven carbon fiber with a very thin sandwich of birch. You can read more about it at this link: www.adamasguitars.com The necks, bowls, electronics, etc. are almost identical to the Ovation line. You can think of Ovation-Adamas kind of line Honda-Acura.

Even when I was in college (not THAT long ago) libraries had mostly become a place for technologically-challenged older folks, preschool teachers, and kids wanting to make out. All in all, there's just as much information online, and it's a lot quicker to access. Not to mention, kids are more likely to use the internet now, because libraries don't stock X-rated movies... :eek: (sorry, Freddie!) | ||
