Location: Denver, Colorado | I was in GC today playing an Adamas that I had been drooling over for several months (Funny It was the only floor model NOT marked down for their supposed super sale this month) when I saw the Taylor hanging on the wall. To make a long story short, I was playing from a Fender acoustic amp (the same model I perform with) and the Adamas was sounding WONDERFUL but the Taylor didn't. No base at all. I hadn't made any adjustments to the amp and had the guitars set the same as possible. I expected more since everyone has been raving over the pick up since it came out. Just then the sales guy came in and told me I should plug it into a regular amp 'cause that's where "it would really shine". I didn't bother. Why pay 3 grand for a guitar that sounds tinny through an acoustic amp that I perform with all the time? Buy a new amp too? I think not. Just more affirmation to me that I started making the right choice 25 years ago when I bought my first Ovation! I currently have three and someday I WILL have an Adamas! PLUG IT IN!!!! |
