Hi!

I am looking for an Adamas I, 1688-2 12 String, in Red.
I would prefer one with the wooden knobs, if possible. In Good shape, it would be going to a very good home, lots of love, and temperature/humidity controlled Nan-Cave to live in! I would like to learn to play a 12 String now, and this is the one that I have set my heart on!

Please let me know if you have one that you are interested in parting with, and price.
You can email me at: naellis58@aol.com

Thank you so very much for your time and consideration!
Nancy

You may as well start at the top for a 12 string eh. I would love to have a 1688 too regardless of colour. Though right now I have my eye on a super rare non ovation 12 which will probably be gone before I make up my mind.

That is what I figure! "Get the Very Best Tool for the Job that you can get, Take care of it, and it will take care of you!" (I can still hear my Dad saying that to me!)

I hope that you get your Rare one too D'Ovation!

LOL!!!

Don't forget the gold pixie-dust!

Someone, somewhere, will decide that they could use the money for something they really want, and feel guilty that their poor Red Adamas 12'er could be being used, enjoyed and loved, and they will send me that once in a lifetime email!!!

Then there will be much happy dancing, and high pitched squealing of pure joy!!! (Followed by the prerequisite nap from over exertion! . )

I wouldn't want to deprive that Wonderful person of creating so much joy by giving up hope on that Dreamy Red one until I have exhausted all avenues of trying to find it!!! Good things come to those that wait, right??? (Or... You grow old and die without it.... I am hoping for the Happy ending! )

Hold out for the color you really want or you will be bummed out after the newness wears off.

I like red, too, which is probably why I fell in love with that 99 Collector that started me down this road. It's gone, but the red #47RI is the only red acoustic guitar that I have. I'm sure it wouldn't sound as good if it were a different color.

That was a good one.  I am really happy that you still love it after all these years.

Yes, it will be at least a year before they are able to produce one, they don't have the resources or equipment at this time... And I could be looking at a substantially higher cost, than finding a used one. It certainly is a possibility for the future, but I really am hoping to find one. I already have plans for the Boys when the time comes, and I am pretty sure I am going to have to sell a couple to get a custom made.

I'll side with Todd G. on this one, get the blue one from AL. I've had three of the 1688's and back in the days when I tracked them, I only knew of two red one's out there, one in Europe and the other in Japan.

I remember seeing photos of the red one in Japan. Definitely a rare model/color combination. None registered on the website.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Shipping-Used-adamas-by-Ovation-1688-2-1983-Acoustic-Guitar-/152058118997

This one sold locally (on yahoo auction) for more than 5K$ I guess.

Best,

I would have done bodily harm for this one, but I just did not have the money at the time...
