Wow! I'm not sure that my heart would cope with four at once.

What fun. Your fingers will be bleeding I bet.

Wow! I hope that dog isn't looking to mark his territory. We're expecting lots more pictures.

Oh Nancy! I feel so sorry for you! It'll be too much for you to handle - you'd better send a couple of them to me. I'm tough. I can take it.

OK, here's an idea...open just one. Play with it for two hours. THEN open another, play IT for two hours. Repeat the process for all four of them. After that you'll still be up all night anyway. If I didn't have to run the store I'd be out to help you, but alas, you are on your own.

Right, like that's gonna happen. Try getting a kid to do that on Christmas...

The kids usually would rather play with the boxes! I don't think that's going to be the case with Nancy though.

Hey Nancy, after you've posted pics maybe you can post a video or something so we can hear them too? Of course if you're like me that won't be possible. I'm such a dinosaur I can't even post still pics, let alone do a video and post it.

Just spent a fair amount of time with Nancy on the phone. Yes, she is excited. Well, more than excited. She actually paid for the guitars a couple of months ago but we waited to send until she could see the sun.

Suggested she could host a get-together...you should see her 1954 Ford restored red, white, and blue tractor. Attach a trailer, load up the OFC'ers and go down the road through town.

My fingers are sore, so I will take a break.

You know how you hear those Adamas on YouTube? And you sit there absolutely mesmerized?
That isn't ANYthing like hearing one (or two) in person!! There is NO other sound like this 1687 when you just strum it once, and it goes on, and on, and on!! The clear, bell like quality, with deep bass, and clear, sustaining highs is unlike anything I have ever heard. It is hard to comprehend that this is actually mine, and I can hear this now, anytime I want to! And now that I know what went into it's design and creation I can appreciate it just that much more!

You can hear EVERY note in each chord! I was happy as the dickens with my Custom Balladeers, but this is like driving a Ford (don't give me any grief, I like Fords!), compared to a Rolls Royce!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! It is very hard to put it down, and even when you do, you can still hear it! It resonates in your ears even after you set it down!

And it is Artistically Beautiful for your eyes too!!! The pictures always made the Red look kind of dull, it is Not!!! The Red is Beautiful, Bright and Vibrant! The carved wood is warm, soft and smooth!

I just can't think of the right words to use, this is an "Experience"!!! Everything about this Guitar is Magical!!!
THANK YOU Tony for making all of this possible!!!!

Always great when an OFC'er can actually play a Adamas textured top 1687 (let alone call it his or her own). Words and pictures never do it justice.

First one I got years ago, I was amazed even with old strings. After restringing, I couldn't put it down.

Poor Nancy, she got four guitars in one day (included one that was repaired by Budny & crew).

LMBO!!! Oh Yeah, poor Nancy! LOL!!!!

I don't know if I could handle this "dilemma" more than once in a Lifetime! LOL!!!
I am in an Adama induced Euphoria that I would like to stay in for a very long time!

No sleep last night, too excited, no sleep tonight, too excited!
Thank You All for sharing this fun with me! You are Wonderful!!!!

Congrats on everything making it there safely

So, just going by your first impression, which one would you keep if you had to give up all the others, based on their acoustic sound?

The 1687-2 hands down! They All Sound Amazing, but that 1687-2 is Phenominal!!! There is just something about the sound, and the sustain on the notes! That is one Hellacious Guitar! They will be prying that one from my cold, dead hands, because I won't let that one go very easily!!! LOL!!!

Full Moon tonight, I am going out and see what they sound like off the deck, under the moon!

Nancy - 2015-04-20 3:07 PM Can you please explain these two acronyms: Adamas SMT and CVT, what do they stand for, what is the difference? I have tried to find the answers, and looked on Ovation Tribute, but just don't understand what they are. Thank you in advance for your help!

I think the SMT and CVT was marketing lingo in the late 90s. More recently post 2010 a few new acronyms have crept up that need explanation. For example:

SR or AST - I think that's "Suspension Ring" or "Suspension System" not sure of the difference

GT - seems to denote an LX type neck and hand laid fiberglass bowl (therefore lighter weight)

NWT - "New Woven Top" may have plywood instead of specified wood (poplar or birch) as core?
