Location: Canada | Looks like they released a new version of the 1598. Not a guitar I paid much attention to but noteworthy they keep it going. I think the first MERB had two sets of epaulets, then MEII with one set, and now the new MEIII has no holes in the soundboard but instead a bunch of soundports. It sure looks different. If anyone knows more about the history of ME Adamas like release dates and other specs then please post. |

Location: moline,illinois | d'ovation here is a link to the Ovation site for any who want to see.
A little limited on specs but I'd guess its meant as a stage guitar.
I'll see if I can find out anymore this weekend

Location: Utah | Mike (MishkaMike?) of this forum custom ordered an Adamas with side ports a couple years ago. He reported it sounded great. That was the first I'd seen from Ovation, and perhaps helped pave the way for this model. It brings the brand into a more modern aesthetic, which will hopefully bring some new younger owners in. |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hello, Everyone,
I don't own an ADAMAS guitar, but, as mentioned in earlier posts, I did actually play the second ADAMAS guitar ever sold in CANADA in 1977. THAT WAS A GUITAR!! My late Dad told me, "New isn't always better. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Some people don't know when to leave well enough alone." (Yes, somebody else got the very first ADAMAS sold in CANADA in 1977, but it was not yours truly.)
