Seriously, I don't know the answer to your question. I personally don't do a whole lot of gymnastics above the 12th fret and I much prefer the look, feel and sound of a full bodied guitar.

There's the SMT and CVT stuff, but I put that in a whole different category than the true adamas guitars.

Great guitar! I first played one of those about 3 years ago in a guitar store up in Hollywood. Was absolutely amazed at the sound coming out of it. It was just sooooo good..... |

Location: ranson,wva | thanks guys. one of the things i like is the bowl texture..the texture feels more like the finish the old bowls had on them. kinda soft and smooth..in about 30yrs of playing it every day the bowl will be smooth as my old folklore....jason |

Location: South of most, North of few | I think his "red eye" condition is from staying up 24/7 since he's gotten this thing. Go to bed, Jason, and when you wake up, don't forget to send me that optima preamp so I can get the 1115 together again. |

I can't personally tell that much of a difference, but I love the look, sound, and feel of any Adamas, or US-Made Ovation for that matter. I guess that's why I'm here (: |
