Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | Sam, I think I hate you. ;) Seriously, that is an incredible piece of Ovation history you have posted. The all graphite looking axes are very interesting.
BTW, I live in Athens, GA. Should I just come over there and kick your butt when you least expect it? ;) |

It is photos like this that make this the best web site in the universe. That is the kind of display that proves the old saw "a picture is worth a thousand words".

Location: Wooster, Ohio | Samova, You seem to know the Adamas. I have always had wood elites. This may not be fair but what do you think of this guitar. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3702796421&category=47064
If I was going after an Adamas is this what I should be looking for or is there another type that is better.
Thanks,
Steve |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Steve, that is certainly a very nice 12 string adamas.As you may already know i am partial to the early adamii so yes it is a good one.I suspect that it may go over $2000 before this one is done.Its the same color as the one i own(# 33) |
