Location: Texas | I had finally stashed away enough cash without my wife knowing and went to buy a 1997 Collector's edition parlor guitar that the dealer had since 1997 and it was gone.
I then ran across this 1979 Adamas 1867-7 in near mint condition that someone else was selling.
I really liked the way this guitar looked and played.
I'm not into the "what's it worth" questions. I buy and keep my guitars unless my best friend talks me out of one and gives me what I paid.
What I do not want to do is pay to much for an instrument, especially if I can grab one off ebay or from one of you guys for a grand less.
This is also the first time I have seen one of these guitars.
Anyone have input on the 1979 ADAMAS 1867-7, serial number 666-93.
Thanks,
Jason |

Location: Scotland | Jason, You mean 1687. I have a '78 in the same colour. These guitars are creeping up in price, they are condidered the "Classic" Adamas & along with the legendary Slothead are among the finest sounding guitars of Ovation's '70's production. You did not say how much the dealer was asking but if you can grab it for anything under 2K I would. You might pay less on a private sale rather than fom a dealer, if you can find one. Last couple I've seen on ebay have reached $1500+ The only thing that puts me off is the serial number, unless you're a Satanist of course. :eek: |

Location: Texas | The guy I talked to may have written the model number wrong. He said 1867-7. This guitar had a carved headstock and a carved rim around the bowl/face of the guitar.
This looked like what I can best describe as a latin style guitar. Okay I'm a half breed meskin in Texas. This looked like a guitar that was made for me.
Thanks for the input. The guy wants $1500 for it.
