I'd like to see more like this.
Not a solid brown but enough variation in color to just suggest a wood grain pattern. This of this guitar sitting in a rich, dark, mohogany or dark cherry wood panneled study. Big fireplace... huge mantle... hunting trophys. The guitar's top matches the wood paneling. Dark rope binding... ebony fretboard & bridge... walnut neck w/skunkstripes... broccolli peaghead.. wood fret inlays... eppletts are darker than standard but light enough to contrast.
Come on... ya got to say it's interesting at the least.

Seriously, I don't think it is bad but if I am gonna have a top that suggests a woodgrain pattern, I would just as soon have a real wood top.

Adamas tops were meant to be colorful and fun!

Location: Phoenix AZ		The face of the guitar needs to coodinate with the back and sides.

Spruce top goes well with Rosewood or Mahogany. Cedar top looks nice mated to Koa. A carbon fibrasonic soundboard goes well with a hand laid fiberglass bowl. Other than that I have no freaking idea what you are talking about.

Photos don't do it justice. Tom's custom brown slothead is BEAUTIFUL. I only saw the soundboard in person, not the whole guitar. But If I was to order another guitar, it may very well be that color. It's kind of like the JL3 reissue or the Patriot Act guitar. Beautiful.

Location: south east Michigan		Come on Cliff... Picture yourself in that picture. Sitting in a tall backed chair... sniffter of brandy.. no strike that ... a sniffter of fine, aged cognac in hand... your red velvet smoking jacket...and your favorite pipe filled with whatever you like. And this setting is made complete with your dark, brooding custom brown Adamas sitting at your side like an old hound dog.

Evidently we're in the minority here but your description depicts very well my feelings when I saw this guitar.

More than having seen it as something rare that I would love to brag about, I saw it as the most visually appealing Adamas I've ever seen.

Maybe for some of us the exchange taking place with Ovation will lead to some new choices that may take a broader range of visual tastes into account.
