If anybody knows about the Adamas tops (Beal?), I would be curious as to who makes them now and in the past....

In Prof's comments and also some of my own in another thread we made reference to the OFC guitar as being a little "sterile". Don't anyone interpret that as a negative comment what so ever. The OFC is the best damn guitar Ovation has built in a long, long time. Maybe the best ever. It's just that it'll take a bit for father time to add the finishing touches. It's like a new sofa. It's perfect. The cushions are nice and springy, stitching is straight and tight, colors not faded, no potato chip crumbs down the cracks. But it just doesn't feel (yet) like the old one you just dragged out to the curb. It will soon enough.

Expertly said, Dave. I'm proud to have OFC No. 5 and it remains at the very top of my little guitar collection. This comparo just illustrates the true uniqueness of the original slotheads and the simiarities and differences between one of their examples and the OFC reissues.

Back then they were made in house (Moosup). Now they are outsourced by a company that knows about this stuff. We had a bunch of funny tops back then.
