About This Listing

1997 Ovation brand's top-of-the-line Super Adamas non-cutaway model.
It has a responsive carbon graphite top with a rylacord resin deep bowl, and is in player's condition, with some top bulging but nothing that affects the current string height. There are some shallow scuffs near the body and bottom, but the top and other parts of the instrument remain beautiful overall. The upper tip of the right epaulette has some floating due to warping, but this does not affect the playing surface.

The neck condition is typical of Ovation guitars, with the high position lying down, but playability up to the joint is ensured, and with the non-cutaway model, it can be played without concern. The fret depth has been adjusted by adjusting the truss rod, ironing, and fret adjustment, and the string height is 2.2mm for the 6th string and 1.7mm for the 1st string at the 12th fret, which is good for playability. There are some small dents on the top of the back of the head (near the serial number), but there is no concern about the strength of the instrument.

The tone is so deep and full that it can be used in a live setting. The EQ has some on/off switching noise (buzz), but it works and is fine as long as you don't switch it on and off while playing.

The Schaller gold pegs are solid and shiny, although they show some bits.
The hardware of the hard case is rusted, but there is no functional problem at present.

Serial No. 12743
Accessories: Genuine hard case
