Never played one, got outbid for one by two bucks.
But I liked the looks, deep bowl, and pre-amp. |

Location: Texas | I only have one to go by right now - The Adamas MEII 12 string and I love it - beautiful sound. I would assume that most of the people on this forum are men but I often wonder why I don't see more people list this as one of their guitars - it is because it is endorsed by a woman - it is not downsized for a woman like her six string and is perfect in every way - but you can see her signature inside the hole. Just wondering why more don't own it since it is such a great sounding and looking guitar. |

Location: East Tennessee | Only one? Tough question.
I would have to say my 1624 Country Artist. It is easy to play and I can play any style of music with it and it will sound great.
I do love my 12 strings but for some songs it doesn't fit. |

Location: Orlando, FL | Another vote for the 47RI. But that's not an Ovation it's an Adamas...
So the 1537.
Of course I'd need a 12 string, so add the the 1538.
And an electric O, so the viper, no wait, the Breadwinner, no the viper...
How many guitars is that? |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | I hate even the thought of the "only one guitar" scenario but at the moment, I would have to say my '68 Josh White because it is the only guitar at the house at the moment (everything else is packed away at a neighbours house due to extensive renos going on here) and the fact that is is simply the best damn sounding Ovation woodtop I have ever played...so far.

And also, isn't that a 1598 with an endorsement?
Just trying to be a jerk, but if I had one, I would certainly list it. I list Celebrity's and Chinese Strats, so... |

Location: Texas | Old Man Authur - I guess you are right - it just might be a 1598 with a signature - I do know that she worked with Adamas on the specs - what changes were made that might make it different - I have no idea. :confused: |

Location: North Idaho | I'd keep the 2001 redwood topped collectors. It's very mellow, and if I could only keep one of my ovations, I would be feeling the blues and needing something to play my sad mood. |

Always wished the color on that one was available on the regular issue SMT's as well.
Anyway, I sold the ME II 12 to a friend who was lusting after it. |

Location: Central Florida | Based on the Ovations I've owned in the past, I've narrowed it to one of these two: my former deep bowl Elite or '83 1619 Custom Legend. Actually, I only own one O right now, a circa '81 Glen Campbell Artist, that is a recent gift from a friend. |

Honestly, I'm not sure what I'd pick...of what I have now, probably my 12-string C759LX. Close second to the SSB 1547 I just got, which I'm falling for more every day.
One O/A ideally? 1881 Adamas II SSB in black with an Optima preamp. I should probably shoot higher, maybe for a slothead or 30th Anniv model, but I absolutely loved my AD2 and would love to find another at some point. |

If any O is fair game, I'd take an FD14.
If it has to be one of my O's, I'd keep the 01 Redwood and then have MWoody build me another Limited. ;)
If an Adamas is fair game, I'd take Jeff W.'s red custom Ute. |
