Location: trail B. C. Canada | Today after 30 years with a Black fender tele custom , I purchased a Used Black Ovation.the #s inside it are :1581-5
:8867-84
You are probably sick and tired of us newbies asking this stuff , but I couldn't make heads nor tails outta the charts I logged on too.
Played it for the first time today and runs circles around my tele.
Please tell me what model,year the O is
Thanks Rocketman |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | That is an Adamas.
By the serial number it was made in 1994.
(I got that from the Serial Number Referrence list)
That "84" is the frequency of the top according to a Laser Vibrometer (or something like that).

Location: trail B. C. Canada | Thanks for the info Old Man Arthur, and thanks for updating me G8r.
I just found some imperfections in the Adamas.
The sound board is warped down about 1/2" between
the nut and the tail stock , the 1st e string goes dead @ the 10th fret till the 17th. Contacted John Budny @ 'O' AND HE SAID MY cAN. DEALER WOULD REPAIR. Dealer said aprox 1 hr labor. Shipping is gonna cost $150 wow.
prob 1 or 2 of the bracing struts has come loose under the top .He said he does them frequently. I still Love her LOL |

Location: Jet City | please describe to me what you believe to be a "Tailstock" "Sound board" and "Nut"
What you just described makes no sense to me at all. |

Location: closely held secret | The top is warped between the bridge and fretboard, probably due to loose braces.
