Ok I thought I knew the answer that all USA made Ovations (with the exception of the carbon fiber top Adamas) had solid tops.

I have searched high and low on the web for an answer in my search to buy my first USA Ovation but cant find a definative anaswer or list of what is solid or not.

newbie question I guess but cant seem to find an answer...

There were a few unusual Collectors guitars with non-solid tops (the ornate wood they used to get a beautiful effect was not capable of holding the tension by itself). But, for practical purposes, the answer is "Yes".

When it doubt, you always should just ask the OFC.
