Location: Michigan | Hey there , I just purchased a new millinieum edition adamas serial # 15910 . I contacted ovation and they told me that only 75 of these were ever made . I am trying to find out what # this one was and I can't seem to do so on this website . I am still waiting for a reply on this from ovation . Can anyone help me on this ? I see from the serial # that is was a 1999 made unit but I want to no what production # it might be ? I would also ask if anyone has a good idea what this guitar would be worth minus the actual paperwork ? Thanks |

I backed off as there was another OFC'er in the bidding - should have gone for $2,100-2,500. As this one came with warranty, $2,500 would have been fair.
Do a search under "millennium" and "millenium" - you'll enjoy the previous postings.
Again, welcome. |

Location: Michigan | Thanks , I need it . I told myself that this is the year I am going to do something nice for myself , so after seeing and playing a millennium 5 years ago and not being able to buy it I found this one and told myself "if you don't do it now you never will" . I just ordered a Roland AC 60 two weeks ago and that should be in at the end of the week so I can't wait to hear this puppy played through it .
Yes to being from Southeast Michigan . From reading some of your messages I was just about your next door neighbor at one time . Im from the Metro Beach area of Harrison Twp. |

Location: boulder | guitarwannebe welcome,
nice score. keep coming back here and you will see how nice of a score over time.
Tony,
please bid over me any time (unless it's for a shiny bowl GCDB 6 or 12 string :D ). Lots of times I bid to see if i can catch something at a minimum price. Only every so often does it work, but it is cool when it does.
sorry to all who held back on bidding cause of me. seriously if I want it, you will know...
:rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes: peace mike |

This guitar simply tore my heart out through my eyes when I first saw it. Then I heard the Voice!!
It's not "The One Guitar" (that title belongs to the U681T), But it is truely beautiful in many respects. I have my good friend Tony to thank for the opportunity to own one. I'm surprised another OFC member that wants one was not also in the hunt, but I'm glad you got it.
Welcome and thanks for answering my invite.
You can go to This site if you want to see where a couple of others are (and a bunch of other really cool guitars), but be careful; sites like this cause GAS.... |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | I was going to bid on this one as well, but pulled out when I saw Fugot bidding. I was hanging on the keyboard at the close.
Can't believe it went so low, congrats GWB
Probably a good thing too, I've dropped enough $$$ over the last three months on guitars.
Need to take a break :eek: at least until that 1187-247 Adamas #47 Slot Head Reissue hits the streets.
Has anyone received one yet? |

Location: Michigan | Hey Slipkid , Huber Breese is originaly where I played the Millennium 5 or 6 years ago . I use to go in there about once a week and admire it and play it but I also couldn't walk the walk so I ended up buying a CS-357 translucent blue one . The day I bought it a factory Ovation Rep was there and set the action on it lower for me and threw in a factory case so I left $450.00 lighter and I still enjoy playing that thing today . I still think the CS-357 is a good bang for your buck. I have since bought a Adamas 1598-MERB, and now I can finally stop dreaming of the one that got away with all of the planets on the neck . I also collect and have three 1965 John Lennon Casinos . Two reissues and one original .Im sorry that I have been so long winded but I will keep it short from here on out.
Thats my story and Im sticking to it .
Thanks to all of you OFC members for the warm welcome and info about these guitars . GWB |
