OFC slothead, never happen. Big Blue? Are you nuts? I'm just stuck with guitars that I could never get rid of. Just too many damned fine guitars....... But I do like the 50th guitars a lot....... | ||

I really thought I should have the last of Ovation's limited editions (other than that butt ugly thing they did). I bought the one from the year before, thinking it would be the last. My current rationalization is that I'll wait to see what the new ones are like and make a choice. I think I'm past the stage where having both was the most satisfying answer. I've got 17 or 18 of them with that sort of thinking and let a few go that I shouldn't have. Now it's time to retire and play the ones I've got. From the pictures, Al shouldn't be too surprised if he gets another call from me and I've got the credit card out. | ||

Joined: June 2012 Posts: 2316 Location: Pueblo West, CO | Damon67 - 2015-10-30 9:23 PM There are 5 models for the anniversary CL like Kevin was playing Folklore slothead non-cutaway Black and Gold Any idea about the brace patterns? Neck width of the Folklore? FlySig, Here's pics of the two guitars. Kevin's guitar is 14-frets. I hope it's LX-braced and not A-braced. Neck width looks like it's 1-11/16" The non-cutaway is 12-frets. It would be nice if this were X-braced, like the original Folklore guitars. It looks like the neck is wider, so I'm guessing it's 1-3/4" or maybe 1-7/8" Since the B&G is an Elite, I'm guessing it's quintaid-braced. | ||

I thought I had made up my mind, but this one is Incredible too... and pretty much goes back to the roots. Decisions, Decisions... Non-cutaway Adamas, or Non-cutaway Forklore..... Thank You so much Dan for posting these picture! Edited by Nancy 2015-10-31 10:27 AM | ||

Thank You so much Dan for posting these picture! You could get both.... I'm kind of considering it. But you'll have to be in line behind me on the red Adamas. I'm for sure on that one. Once it gets here I'll have to decide which of the herd to let go to pay the credit card bill. 1537? I love the feel and sound, and especially the as-new finish thanks to a Mothership refurb recently. Adamas 2080? Great sounding guitar plugged in, and very comfortable to play. I love the neck on this one. Patriot? Best sounding O I've ever heard. I flew up to Alison's shop in South Dakota to hand carry it home! Then there are the electric O's. A Viper solid body and a Breadwinner. And the Hamer, which is never leaving. Really it is an embarrassment of riches which I don't take advantage of already. But the 50th models are gorgeous in the photos. The necks really are stunning with the binding. DW has unleashed the craftsmen at the Mothership factory. | ||

They really ARE Amazing! DW is quality and creativity, and it is Wonderful to see that commitment extended to our Guitars as well! I really appreciate that they took a few of the prototypes, and historical models to do the 50th Anniversaries off of. Allot of people would think the 2 holed Adamas #23 Prototype just a little too bizarre to use, but it is Perfect! It was the first one to catch my eye, and lose my breath over! | ||

I would like another Parlor bowl, too. But I don't think that I can afford any of these for while. | ||
