> i need some advice!! i ahve been offered a very good cond, ovation guitar - the fancy one with the little round sound holes on the top, not under the strings (is it an adamas?) for R5,000 - which is US$ 500.00. > Hi Ron,
An Ovation with little sound holes and electrified could be several things: * Adamas (model 1687), non cutaway, carbon top, bowl back, used value = $1600 * Adamas II (1881 NB-2), single cutaway, shallow bowl, $1200 * Elite 1718, non cutaway, deep bowl, spruce top, stereo output, volume + tone controls, $800 * Viper 1271, single cutaway, 2 single coils pickups, $400 * Viper III 1273, 3 single coil pickups, $300-400 Send me the model number if not one of the above. In general, Ovation are out of fashion but who cares if you like the guitar. Laurent
