Location: Zion, Illinois | I saw an Adamas II on E-Bay a few days ago with a "Buy It Now" price of $875. Nobody took it!
I have never played one of these carbon topped guitars. If I knew how they sound, I would have been tempted to buy it (now).

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | bradley,i saw that one too, but it was in alaska. might be one to look at before buying due to the extreme temps. i didn't see my first ovation till 72 in cal, but woodies had a hard time up there. one of mine turned to kindling on the north slope. strange stuff happens when it gets extreemly cold. i could fill a book with the bummers of cold. that is one reason i'm here in the tropics. |

Location: Zion, Illinois | I'm up here near the Illinois / Wisconsin boarder. It's almost as bad . I bought an Ovation Custom Elite from a guy in Califoria last winter. It lasted about 1 month here before the top split. I just picked it up last night from the repair shop. Good thing it still sounds great, I was tempted to pick up that Ovation Elite 1537 for $549 on E-Bay.

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | bradley,i saw that one too and was tempted. drop me an e mail if you are bidding and i'll back off. no sense bidding against one another. there are lots of guitars out there and anything i purchase from this point on has to be in some way special. i am not buying to resell or make a profit. i'll leave that to the guys who know what they are doing. i just derive tremendous pleasure from playing a fine instrument that helps me to get the most out what my hands are capable of.
is the elite the top of the line wood top series? i still havent got the order of quality top to bottom straight. there seems to be an abundance of models and variations within a particular model. i can see the dilema for a purchaser with little previous knowledge of ovations. i agree with a previous thread that had several posts re ovation's high quality guitars need to somehow be separated from the production and import entry level guitars kind of like the difference between the words applause and ovation. i hope the current direction doesn't lead to a "boo" series. russ

Location: SoCal | That Elite is the same model that I have. It is worth a bit more than the amount they are asking in the buy it now. It's AAA spruce, multi layered wood body binding, peghead face, and heelcap, and a black walnut fingerboard. If I wasn't putting a new engine in the old sports car, I'd buy it for myself. Anybody want to buy it and give it to me? Mine has got a great tone acoustically and plugged in. |

Location: Zion, Illinois | I'm happy the way my Custom Legend turned out. Go a head and snatch up that Elite for $549. Sounds like a good deal to me.
