Location: So. Cal. | Here you go again guys, Bill has two, Sam has two, Cliff has one... Michael has NONE !!!!
I don't care who you are and to whom you are related to. It is an absolute crime and ultimate sin to have more than one slothead. ......Calming down...... Okay, fine; at least let me borrow yours for a month; how about just will the darn thing to me whoever dies first. That'll give me an incentive to stay healthy and outlive you SOB's (Slothead Ovation Braggers). ....Deep breathing....
Just me & my "still solid head" Adamas! |

Location: SoCal | Paul T & I tracked down a guy that I know owned a slothead about 15 years ago. He's been thru all kinds of difficulty, has hair in a braid down to his ass, wears lots of Indian jewelry. All he would say is "It disappeared", that "I should have bought it back then" (it wasn't for sale, I asked about it),and "that was in the past".
I think it's gone. |

Bill, does Charlie still have one on the wall, or is that one in your custodialship, making up your two?
I'd just like to find how many are left in existence.
It's surprising that in the rapid growth of this forum (especially internationally) that more haven't surfaced. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I have custody. I'd like to see what is left too, that's why I asked.
I have 1689-2,#35 and 1187-7,#53
Maybe Miles can put present owners with the s/n on the reference list
Sam, you still have the 12? |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Bill, yes i still have the one and only 12 string in the slothead (# 26-62)..I also have the proto 12 string serial #12.Im guessing its probably the only one there too...Whats the slothead at the factory that everyone brags about the sound?? Was it # 37 ??? |

The one that everyone's referring to is a newly-made slothead Adamas prototype (in black). Didn't get a chance to play it (the line was too long :D ), but it sounded GREAT!
There IS in fact a red SlotHead on the wall (see pics) in the R&D Dept. Possibly #47? Number 47 is listed to Ovation Engineering Dept.
So, in "recap":
Elias has/had #31
Sam has #33
Bill has #35
Ovation has #47(?)
Bill has #53
I have (as far as I know) #54
Sam has #57
That's 7 out of 34.
27 "Holy Grail"s floating around out there somewhere.
Makes you wonder how many might've been sheetrock-screwed to the rafters of a "Bennigan's" between the rusty Michigan license plate and the dry-rotted "oohgah" horn. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | EGAD, Cliff- put a stake through my heart while you're at it! I agree we are a band of brothers whose appreciation for these fine instruments get little respect, but that imagery and speculation is unbearable! 'Sheetrock screws', indeed! I have to salvage some, albeit miniscule, belief in a "just universe"!! |

Location: NJ | #47 was listed as going to Ovation Engineering,
and is a 1187-2 making it "Red" (yes?).
That's what I based my assumption on
(but a good "eyeballing" would definitely help). |
