For almost 40 years I have played Ovation guitars, owning 2 non USA and 2 USA models in all wood tops. All the time aspiring to owning an Adamas model, the ultimate guitar built by this iconic and unique brand. Beautiful instrument with a solid build, meticulously finished, with a sound like no other. Plenty of acoustic kick from the deep bowl despite only half the sound holes as the non-cutaway. Plugged in, this guitar cuts through the mix and can always be found regardless of what else is going on. Pluck, Finger pick, strum gentle, strum hard, it doesn't matter which, this guitar responds and resounds. I cannot stop picking it up. My new workhorse and stage companion.
