You have 15910. MtnBikerFred has number 15918. I have number 16596. Obviously they did NOT make these with sequential serial numbers. Looks like you and fred have early ones and mine is later.
The Reference page says that Adamas serial numbers 14624 to 16136 were made in 1999. Averages states yours is late 1999. Looks like mine was in 2000. |

If you want them to close it on Friday nights then maybe I should come up and play .
I have been told that the police could arrest me for attempted murder with a stringed instrument .

Location: Keller, TX | I'm sure they have many guitars going at once. I don't know when a serial number is assigned. Is the number engraved into the neck immediately after the neck is cut or is it when the whole guitar is complete/assembled? |

Location: Michigan | I am stroking out waiting for my guitar to arrive . I have been checking the Fed-Ex website and it is now in Memphis TN. bound for the Motor City .
I can't stop checking to see where it is at . My other half thinks that I have completely lost my mind ( which I think I finally have ) over a guitar . She keeps yelling at me to get off that Fu#@*ing computer and watch a movie with her .
This may be the final countdown . I think that she is going to kill me over this one , but I hope that it will be after I receive my guitar and get to play it just once.
Oh WOW this is a very good therapy site for guitar addiction.......GWB |

Location: Idaho | GWB, the wait is half the fun. As far as this being a 'good therapy site', it just keeps me in perpetual GAS. I didn't know about the millennium model until reading about it on OFC. Now it's on my list. At least I get to hear from somebody as lucky as you getting one, and that makes me feel great. |

It won't say "Delivered" until it already arrives so lay off the PC checks.
That leaves you with about 12 hours to spend some time with her and let her know that she is the important thing in this world to you!
If that don't work just remind her that she knew you were a guitar player when she married you! |

Location: Michigan | The expected delivery date is the 18th , which I think is one day later than I expect . I am asking all of the fed ex drivers to please drive safe and prudent on all of your deliveries .
MWoody, I do love my other half and she knows it , but this is like waiting for a new 20 year old HOT TOOD-E chick to arrive at your house for a good old fasion Ovation 3-some that your wife agrees to ??????? Ohhhh got to go see where my guitar is now !!! GWB. |

If you don't have a green menu bar to the left, click on "Ovation Fan Club" down at the very bottom of the page. Right between "Contact Us" and "Privacy Statement". |

Do yourself a favor and go get the Dunlop System 65 Guitar maintenance kit. It's got Formula 65 Guitar Polish & Cleaner, Bodygloss Cream of Carnuba, String Cleaner and Conditioner, Fingerboard 01 Ceaner & Prep, and 02 Fingerboard Deep Conditioner. Basically everything you need to give her the Full Spa Treatment!!
Otherwise lemon or mineral oil will work just fine.
Have fun!! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I've used lemon oil, but heard that some lemon oil has alcohol or something that dries out the wood. Found a bottle of mineral oil in the cupboard and used it. A little goes a long way, so I'll need to buy more guitars. |

Location: Michigan | Cool Cool Cool ,
I think this guitar has my personality . Spaced out . I think the neck inlays of the world and the planets are awesome looking . The blue and black graphite top is really sharp. The guitar plays and sounds great . I am going to have it set up and have the action lowered just a hair on it . I am not a full time player so I like the action to be as low as I can get it . I play this through a Roland AC 60 amp and the sound is incredible . This is one beautiful guitar and I am so glad I got it . I wanted one when they came out with them but I could not afford one and I never thought that I would find a brand new one 6 years later , so I am a happy camper . Some things are worth waitng for . G.W.B. |

Location: Michigan | I would like to pose a question to OFC members about the Adamas Millenium guitar . I was informed that only 75 of these Millenium editions were made. Do you think that these will increase much in value ? How do you like the way they sound and the way they play ? Is the quality there for the price that comes along with the guitar ?
I am very interested in hearing your replys .
GWB. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I don't own one and have only played one once, but I think everything about it is standard SMT except for the cosmetics, right? That being the case, playability and sound will be what you would expect from an SMT. Some people like them.
Weather or not it will increase in value because of the rarity is tough to judge. If you're looking for an investment, there's probably better Ovations to be on the look out for. The real prize would be if you had the matched 6 string AND 12 string millenium set!

Craig, are you coming to Old Magnolia Town this year? |

We built about 75 of the Millennium guitars they had a retail price of about $3,200.00. I say about because they were never in price list or catalog. This was a low production limited edition piece really cool looking to as you know.
