... and Ovation Adamas guitars are still being made! My 2020 Adamas 2087GT-8:
I received my new 2020 Adamas I 2087GT-8 Custom Reverse Blue Burst, Thursday, November 5, 2020, three days after it appeared in the Guitar Gallery. Six weeks ago, I noticed it was on order and checked daily to see when it would arrive. I had asked my sales engineer, Chris Lewis, for his best nice price and got the guitar for just north of $4K USD. The Adamas, with a late-October 2020 serial number, arrived in flawless condition and is a credit to the five or so Ovation Custom Shop craftsman in New Hartford, Connecticut. With its Deep Contoured Bowl, the guitar is comfortable and stays put just as well as a conventional wooden guitar. The Adamas features a balanced tone with a crystalline-like shimmer that would amplify and record with minimal EQ. Acoustically, if a Martin HD-28 is a sledgehammer, think of the Adamas as a jeweler's hammer that IMHO would be a joy as an acoustic guitar for jazz-/rock-/and pop-artists to play. Amplified, with its Ovation OCP-1 Pickup/Op Pro Studio Preamp system, the Adamas I 2087GT-8 can be just about anything a player needs or may want it to be in many live-performance situations. The Adamas I 2087GT-8 Custom Reverse Blue Burst specs are listed below: String Type: Steel Number of Strings: 6 Body Shape: Deep Contour Cutaway Left-/Right-handed: Right-handed Color: Reverse Blue Burst Finish: Satin Top Wood: Ultra-thin Carbon Fiber Back & Sides Wood: Hand-laid Advanced Composite Body Bracing: Adamas Fan-bracing Binding: Carved Glass-filled Composite Neck Wood: American Black Walnut Neck Shape: Ovation Soft V Radius: 10" Fingerboard Material: Walnut Fingerboard Inlay: Maple Number of Frets: 22, Nickel Silver Scale Length: 25.3" Tuning Machines: Schaller with Gold buttons Bridge Material: Carved Walnut Nut/Saddle Material: Bone/ABS Nut Width: 1.692" Electronics: OP Pro Studio Strings: Adamas, .012-.053 Case Included: Hardshell Case Weight 4lbs 15 ozs
