It is the Real Thing: The Original, First Generation Adamas by Ovation! A Real Cannon!

Location: Philadelphia, PA 19107 | Hi everyone,
In fact, all of these guitars are available for immediate sale, if you are interested.
Please call for pricing and availability.
The brown 12-string, and the very first on the left, blue Adamas 6-string, are already sold.
All early Adamas guitars are near mint to mint condition, and come with original tan (or black) OHSC. Other early, and custom Ovation guitars also available.
Thanks |

I have a slightly used wife I wouldn't mind trading for one of those Adamas's. The poor woman would rather use our tax refund for home remodeling and the kid's college fund than an Adamas. The woman has no priorites.
They are beautiful.

Location: UK | Elias, you say on your auction site that the Adamas was discontinued in 1998, im a little confused and worried :confused: I am in the process of buying a Milennium Adamas, this was made 2000, is it really an Adamas or not? any idea?
Or is the difference in the tops, such as wood up until 1998, then they did the switch to carbon fibre after that; and now not considered by Ovation vets an Adamas if it has a plastic top? |

So how much do you want for the slotted headstock Adamas? I probably can't afford it and stay married, but I am curious.
I also want to get more posts up to stop being so damned "junior".
Bill, from what I've read, you're just a couple of years older than me. We are old farts. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Paul, Being an old fart is one thing. Believing it is another. It's amazing how selfdelusional we can be isn't it?
They used to say you're only as old as you feel but it's really more as old as you think. |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | i couldn't agree more bill. i am 55 and think music keeps you young. a good friend who is a sailor buddy, is 84 and just won all three races in his class in the banderas bay regatta. he brings the house down when he dances with gals less than half his age. he makes 'em blush. you tell people how old you are with a whole lot more thean grey hair and wrinkles. anybody wanting the fountain of youth needs to pick up a musical instrument, even if it's a kazoo or the spoons and play with friends.
as to the fart part-------that's inevitable. |

Location: SoCal | I've always worked on the theory that you're only as old as the woman you feel. Mine feels good to me, so I think I'm in good shape.
As for music, I'm back taking guitar lessons again. Jazz this time. I figure that if I'm alaways working to improve, in 3 years I'll be 50 and a better player (hey, my old Elite deserves that), or, I can not take lessons and just be 50, playing the same ol' shit. |
