Location: Chicago | I can't recall ever seeing an Ovation or Adamas 7 string. I mean a "regular" guitar (non-12 or exotic) that has one extra (bass) string, as is common in European tradition. I'd love to play one... esp an Adamas! |

Location: Newington, CT | I wonder about the neck-width and the separation between the strings...is the space between the strings the same, on a 7-string as on a 6-string? Or does that space change with the additional string?
I DO love a good wideneck! And I love a nice 12-string, but NOT because of the wideneck; rather because of the different sound.
This -- the hypothetical Adamas 7-stringer -- might be the ultimate wide-neck! |

| And I'm thinking that even with nine there isn't an extra bass string - it's just a twelve with three strings missing. |

Speaking of loving things, that's the second Ovation 9-string I've seen pictures of, and I would love to get my hands on one. |

It just has two more too, that's all.
I'll bet it was a "You buy this 7-stringer, and we'll t'row in two more -- for FREE!"
kinda thing. |
