The shiny contoured bowl was on a 2080, I think. |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I am curious if the bowl material is the same as a current LX's, lighter, etc. Is it just a shiny paint, eposy, or a new material composite of somekind.

Location: SoCal | I believe that the bowl was the older hand laid fiberglass, but I'm not certain. I know that since Ovation did those bowls for their reissues, they've also been using them for other projects. |

Location: SoCal | Custom Shop Catalog/brochure says:
Body Configuration Options:
glass black bowl
deep non-cutaway handmade fiberglass
contour handmade fiberglass
deep non-cutaway standard on 1687
deep non-cutaway GS, standard on 1680
deep cutaway, standard on 1581
mid-depth cutaway GS
super shallow GS
Body Finish:
prism metal flake
gloss black
Adamas I flake
not sure what was on one of them but actually picked up the guitar thinking it would be heavy-had a finish that looked like the old marbles from the school yard days.
Also, Binding and Purfling - avail on 2080 only:
Creme, Ivoroid binding, tortoise shell binding
Inlaid maple Adamas logo is standard on the 1581 AND price list we saw on the factory site - wrong, Adamas II is deep bowl. |

Can somebody scan the Adamas Custom Shop brochure and send it to Jerome? I fear it takes month (if at all) until the brochure is distributed all over the world.

But each time, they have been so nice and so helpful with me!!! ;)

Location: NJ | Yeah, I like it as well. This is the first I've seen it . . .
I REALLY like the "concept" of it, but I personally would've done the "execution" a bit differently . . .
(But then, wtf do I know?? . . . I'm always the one grumbling when the client's always trying t'be an "ArtDirector" . . .)
Any more pictures of the overall booth?? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I'm in love with that custom shop 2080. Black/grey burst GLOSS top, GLOSS contour bowl, GLOSS neck, Gloss everything. Should rank right up there with the Q as being a fingerprint-meister. But I love it (more than you think).
