I was wondering if Moody would be kind to post some detailed photos of his great looking OFC adamas?

Man!...I am dying to see some close-up pics of both top and back!

I've never been one for the blue guitar but that one's absolutely beautiful and plays pretty damn ok too. Glad I got a chance to strum it a couple of times.

Sadly, right now, I don't have either the guitar or any pictures. Al is shipping the guitar to me as I stayed in CT and worked for several days after the gathering.

Jerome took some pics of the guitar and I'm hoping to see those soon.

He does, I'm sure as soon he's over the jet-lag and culture-shock he'll have them on his website.

I'm sure that Jerome is over the jet lag. It's the cultural shock that I'm worried about. We may have scarred him for life. The llamas may have been a bit much for him....

Thanks Beal.

I like the pic of Weaser playing it on this thread

http://www.ovationfanclub.com/cgi-bin/ubb/non-cgi/ultimatebb.php?ub...

You know, I think everybody there played it and the only downside was when Temp killed the strings. Oh well, another casualty of destructive chemical warfare (Temp's body chemistry is officially called WMD -- Weapons of musical destruction).....

Gimme a break, I own 30-odd instruments. How'd you like that many strings and my body chemistry? If I didn't buy my strings wholesale I'd be homeless.

Here's a link to some quick snaps of one of the 12 finest guitars Ovation has ever produced. Although the "burst" doesn't show up in the pictures, it is a burst. Just odd lighting as I just wanted to get some photos uploaded.

My friends were afraid when I told them that a guy has build a trebuchet, driving it from his house to New Hartford only to throw Ovation guitars in the air... :eek:

Stop it, Moody. I'm having a tough time lusting after the guitar, but it's really wierd when you're in the picture. You always make the guitars look so small. If you're going to post a picture, could you just post one of the guitar?

Man, I am jonesing for mine to come off the line. This has been in the works for almost three years and the end is upon us. Big project for Al for 12 guitars ... thank for hanging in there Al through all the trials and tribulations.

Great shots Miles. Stunning. At least there's one good picture of Moody's. ;)

I think I'm going to change out the tuner buttons to the large size. I was looking at #54 and it has the bigger ones.

Bobbo, I think you're right. I never realized that but it seems that all original slotheads had the larger Schaller tuner buttons. I checked all the pictures I have, here is an example (slothead #31):



Paul, what does the label say? I got a pic from Tom showing the custom order form of #10 where it's described as "1187-847 with stereo electronics".

Paul, my question regarding the label was answered by Jerome. He posted wonderful pics of your OFC guitar and also of the label:



To me it's a 1687-8 but I think they took the 1187 cause it's a offshoot of #47RI.

it's beautiful...but still to me it seems without any burst. Jerome's photos are so clear. There is no burst on the top... :rolleyes:

The other think I noticed is the less glitter on the back, maybe the top too. The OFC adamas seems to have less glitter as compared to the 47RI... :rolleyes:

I can tell you that the OFC guitar is very very close to Cliff's original #54!!
On some of my pictures, It's hard to say who is who... ;)
It's really a fantastic guitar.

It's very hard on the pictures to have the exact color of the top because it change with the light.
Just like for the #47-RI...

I can post 10 different pictures of my guitar, and they can all look different. Lighter, darker, blue-er, green-er, with a pronounced fade or not, more or less "glitter-ier". Digital cameras, light sources, camera/lighting angles, processing software, and individual monitors play a major part in how differently things can be perceived.

If the details, and the degree of burst are such a major factor, y'shoulda' made the trip . . like Jerome did.

Comparing Cliff's guitar to the OFC guitar, I think there's slightly less glitter on the top of the OFC guitar. The color and burst (or lack thereof) is about dead-nuts perfect. As to the glitter, who cares? The factory did a GREAT job on these and I, for one, am satisfied.

He needs the OFC guitar. Imagine having all three? Slothead, #47RI, OFC Guitar ??? That would be completely over the top.

To all concerned that I was seriously insinuating that Tupp was parlaying the "vast monies" derived from the sales of his "Workshop Ukes" into some-kinda insider 'Original Slothead' deal,
Please accept my apologies...
My sarcasm (and I was being sarcastic) may have appeared to be cynicism toward what we all know was an act of real generosity in acquiring sufficient numbers of ukes for the attendees of his workshops to utilize during those workshops. I, myself, was lucky enough to use one of his Jenny's (strangely enough, the name of my first real love) and was (not unlike my Jenny) very grateful to have her in my arms...

Cliff, not that I know of .....but since I moved my office out of the house last month I don't see a lot of what comes in.

and with Lia's memory issues she might have gotten it and set it to the side and forgot to tell me.

I will check it out and let you know.

Re: Moodys OFC guitar.

The problem, as I see it, with a guitar that has a colour scheme is...you have to dress TOO the instrument.

Really! Jason.
"Blue and green should not be seen!"
Do Tup & I have to teach you all how to dress? Don't your wives (Or partners) teach you these things?

I mean, REAlly!

No.

It was the Tequila. :rolleyes:


I got up too late(er) on Fri. morning, and missed Al t'hand it off to him and get it to the Factory early.

Darren was nice enough t'say that I could bring it up ANYtime (like when I come up t'visit w/Beal) and he'd do it for me, or I could just wait 'til NextYear . . .

Jason, the pic is great, but you look way too comfortable with that guitar! Don't pull it down, don't change it. It's going in my collection of pics of that guitar.

One of the things that I really enjoyed in CT was letting everybody who wanted to, play that guitar. If Clifford could pass around #54 which is worth more than twice my OFC slothead, then letting everybody play my guitar was the least I could do.

Cool pic Jason...BTW, I enjoyed meeting you and glad you were able to make it after all the problems...You hit the nail on the head...where else could a guitarist go for several days and end up playing just about every fantasy Ovation/Adamas one could dream of (for me: #47, Woz's Adamas 12; OFC/Lost Art Koa; etc...) I would love to have played Paul's OFC Slothead and maybe Cliff would have let me play #54, but I was too new to know the details...but perhaps down the road...Still, what a trip it was....IF ANYONE IS SITTING ON THE FENCE ABOUT COMING TO THE TOUR, WHY? It is such a special time and I can't thank Al and Miles (and the usual suspects) for doing this for us!
Blessings...

Also, a huge thanks to Cliff (and to Moody, Tupp and others) who were so willing to allow their guitars to be passed around the lobby and handled by dozens of folks. Cliff's guitar is irreplaceable, and yet it was given no obvious deference over any of the others. Nonetheless, when it was my turn, I felt very honored to play it. I think that makes six original slotheads I've now had the good fortune to play.
