Location: Germany | Hi folks,
I've decided to sell my 1687. It was my first Adamas guitar I purchased from an OFCer in Germany. But since I've adopted two wide-neck Adami (1682 and 1689) it's not played any more. So it has to go. Production year 1988, OP-24, near mint condition. No issues. 1250 Euros or $1700. Shipping is free to a destination in Germany, 22 Euros to most destinations in Europe and $70 to the US.
This guitar sounds awesome acoustically and even better plugged in. IMHO the OP-24 is the best Ovation preamp ever. Very warm and mellow.
Here is my ad on craigslist: 1687-8

Where did you come by them? They're pretty rare right? |

In summer my older daughter will leave home for university. :)

Location: Germany | These early wide-necks are both rare and expensive. 1189 is acoustic-only, 1689 is electric/acoustic. Paul's guitar originally was acoustic only and he made a later add on with an original OP-24 preamp. So it's a 1689 now equipped with the best Ovation preamp ever.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was referring to wives and kids, not guitars. I guess I'm just too subtle. Karl, save some in case I get to meet you in Germany in April (referring to guitars, not kids). |

Location: Germany | Oops! Yes, that was way too subtle for my entirely superficial and only guitar-driven mind. I'm afraid that I will still have some in April (referring to kids, not guitars).
