Location: Right now?		I bought a few guitars this month. Yes, so I did go a bit crazy this year, but phew, it has been fun! Here's three pics of one I closed on yesterday. I am expecting a few more special deliveries this week and next. I will post the photos soon. MM tells me I did well on this one ...

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Nice. The combination of a black top with brown detailing has always been one of my favorites. That photo makes it look like a couple of different models. What model is this specifically?

Location: Right now?		Thanks, everyone! Arrgggh! It's too much, too much I tell ya ... and you guys 'did it' to me, lol. I grabbed it pretty fast! It's supposed to be a 1987 Adamas I 1681-5. SN# 4414. I think the seller was the original owner. Allison, this forum is NUTZ.

Location: Right now?		OK ... so the Ovation tribute page shows the following as an Adamas II 1681-5. Mine has different knobs, so ... Here's what is shown on the Ovation tribute site:

http://www.ovationtribute.com/Adamas%20Models/Adamas_II_1681-5_%233...

Mine has knob that looks more like this one, only in black:

Still looking ...

OhOh!!! :eek:
When I was a kid, maybe 8yrs old, I got caught stealing candy for my Step brother who threatened to kick my A-- if I didn't. I swear I won't try to "borrow" an ADAMAS. Just fondle it a bit! ;)
