Haven't you been looking for one of these for a while? I used to own one, just like that.

Location: Portland, OR | I recently got one of these, same color, but with the OP24 instead of the wood knobs. Very sweet guitar in looks, versatility and playability. And the sound matches the rest. Price is about right and good value. |

I figured I like it but wanted to check with the 'experts' that I wan't missing something obvious.
I'm starting to get funny feeling that having thinned the wood tops I'm going to be going on an Adamas quest. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | 1681 on it's way Brighton. Sadly my camera has broken so macro shots will be on hold till I get a new one.
The 1537 might be the next one on the block!!!
So just need a 1881, 1687-8, 87C-4 then I'm done ;) |

But I am running out of Adamas / Ovations that I haven't had to try so I'm almost cured.
Weirdly I'm ctually kind of hoping I don't like the 1681 then I won't need to try a 1687.
What I would like is a long neck, ebony fingerboard, SSB Adamas (maybe for my 50th I'll order one). |

The Carbon tops need a great wood top for balance. |

OK you persuaded me, where can I get one? Would really like a 1881 too (maybe even black!) |
