Joined: February 2014 Posts: 699 Location: moline,illinois | Hey guys santa came early to my house,I just got one of the most beautiful and ornate guitars ovation ever made,its a 2006 Adamas 1187-247 30th anniversary reissue of the Original Slot Head #47 Charlie Kaman's personal favorite,its #15 of a limited run of 87 I believe. I've seen pics of these before but a camera just cannot do justice to seeing and holding the real thing in your hands,I had been wanting a 1687 but I just one upped myself and got what many to be one of the finest guitars produced by ovation,and without further ado PICS.

Joined: February 2014 Posts: 699 Location: moline,illinois | Thanks for all the compliments she is sweet,I restrung her last night with my favorite phosphor bronze strings and she really sings now. Detlef:I know you like customizing your guitars what do you think ebony buttons!!!The 1187 is acoustic only and one of my lightest guitars and I'm all for no pickup in this model the resonance is amazing. Arumako:If I get up the courage to video my mediocre playing skills I'll see if I can get you a sample. LOF:What can I say your poetry didn't already express,if your ever in my neighborhood stop by l share my toys  OMA:You might have to sell quite a few of your toys to get one but it would be worth it shes probably worth any 2 of my other 6 strings and the crowning achievement of my collecting.

I turned 2 of my old Ovation CL into acoustics... No, not ebony, only for the black Adamas! This guitar has no black appointments. There are lots of wonderful possibilities for Schaller machines. I would choose wood knobs made of walnut, red cedar or mahogany, best which would match the colour of the wood used for the neck. Or, if someone may have some, Gold engraved....rare to find, maybe from Martin old stock...to make it short, only the best!! Detlef:The Acoustic only early models have killer tone,my 68 balladeer 12 string is a monster. I was thinking ebony buttons to go with the graphite strip down the back of the neck but engraved gold would be awesome,Nancy has a 1687 with fancy gold tuners that are gorgeous.
