Location: Keller, TX | There is alot of info about Ovation bracing patterns.
Do all Adamas guitars have the same bracing pattern? Just wondering how they get such different sounds out of the different models. |

In addition to the bracing the direction and type of carbon fiber cloth and pattern, has alot to do with the different ADAMAS "flavors" that exist...
You may of seen this already, but here is a link to some Ovation and (1)Adamas bracing pattern from Jerome, one of our members in France, he has quite the collection of catalogs etc...

I recently purchased an ADAMAS sound board (non cutaway, bass and treble epaulets) from another member of the board... "on The Bay":

I can send you some close up pics of the bracing, if your as curious as I was) As you can see the version I have has 9 braces, of various thicknesses and depth, in an angled, mostly but not 100% symetrical "fan" pattern, with no additional cross braces of any kind under the bridge area...
I haven't a clue how to post MY OWN pics on the board... but my e-mail works, shoot me any other questions and I'll answer what I can:

Location: Keller, TX | Yep, that is the site that made me ask the question. Lots of Ovation bracing patterns, only one Adamas pattern. Just wondering if all Adamas have the same bracing pattern, or do they use some of the Ovation bracing patterns. |

Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida | As far as I know all are "fan" type... I would imagine that that patterns have evolved over the years... But because there are fewer of them around not as much is known as the regular O's...
Send an e-mail to Kim Keller or John Bundy @ the factory... They will know more.
