FOR SALE: OFC II GUITAR, No. 8/8 WIDENECK, with CARBON FIBER CASE
I have NO friggin idea why I am doing this. I bought a few guitars recently and have sold off some beauties. Once you do it a few times you find that it really doesn't hurt like you thought it would. So I am taking the next step and selling off another one that just gets no play at all. It needs a more appreciative home.
Do a SEARCH. You will find RAVES about this guitar. More than a few well respected members call it the best sounding Ovation/Adamas they have every played. It is everyting they say and MORE
You probably know all about the OFC II guitar, so I don't need to go into details. 8 of them were made, and a few were wide neck 1-3/4 versions. Mine in s/n 8 and it is indeed a wideneck. The guitar has about 2 hours of play time and is in 100% perfect brand new condition. Note, it is totally impossible to photograph this guitar. Pay NO attention to anything in the photos, there is NOT A MARK on the guitar.
I am throwing in the Carbon Fiber Case from the OFC I guitar. It's just MADE to go with this guitar (don't worry AJ, I've got 2 of them).
Here's the nitty gritty ...
- Adamas 2080 in gloss Blackburst finish
- Hand laid Fiberglass contour bowl
- Black binding and textured bowl
- Black gloss maple neck
- 1 3/4 inch nut width
- Set neck
- Ebony fingerboard
- OP PRO preamp w/ db boost button
- XLR and 1/4" outputs
- Open back Sperzel tuners brushed nickel
- Carbon Fiber Case
- Label signed by Alpep and CWKII
- Certificate of ownership
PRICE: $3750. Incl 2 day FedEx shipping in the CUSA
Email or PM me of you are interested. |

I bet if this doesn't sell within a few days, Dave reconsiders and decides to keep it. |

It has certainly affected me (without my knowledge of course!) |

Location: Tennessee | First the NAMM guitar and now the OFC II. I think you're going all Old Skool on us, Dave ... probably buying more of those old-fashioned wooden things.
I had 3/8 (wideneck, too) out to an open mike last week. It was nothing short of awesome. Plugged it in, and it was just pure sound. The Martin player was all gaga and thought it was too cool for words, and the Taylor player went all snobby-nose on us and then kept fiddling with his expression system until it sounded like a runaway truck crashing through a kitchen. And then complained it was the Bose system that was ruining his sound.
The CF case is just perfect for this guitar. Almost too nice to take out, but I do anyway. Even if it means acquiring some bumps and bruises.
Alan ... as a 2080 fan, you ought to be all over this. I'll bet you can get more out of the boost button than most of us, given how you play. You'd probably really like the wide neck, too. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I know what you mean Bobbo. This guitar is almost too cool for me. If I played out (or really played at all) I would be all over it. But for sitting on the couch noodling around while watching TV it seems like overkill. |

The "I"s for me were nothing special IF (and I said IF) you owned a 47RI or an original slothead....otherwise they were an incredible guitar and the only way to get that special slothead vibe.
The "II"s were for me totally unique (even tho they strongly resemble the 2080) from the über cool finish to the Alpep button to the wide neck.
In retrospect I think the wideneck OFC II is the cooler and more rare guitar but there is no doubt in my mind that ultimately the OFC I will be more collectible and probably command a higher price. |

I'm a little suprised it didn't come as a slothead though. |
