Location: London, UK		We'll need someone else to confirm whether or not THIS is an Adamas doubleneck:


If you read the interview down the page here, you'll see the guitar described as a 'six and twelve string Ovation/Adamas acoustic':

See the outie epaulets?


Too many time I have read multiple sound-holes and epaulets referred to as "Adamas-style".

I might add that all the OVATION Ovation Double-necks that I've seen have the 12 on the bottom.
But I could be mistaken... :eek: :confused:

As in the Davey Johnstone photo above, which seems to have the 12 on top?

Location: London, UK		The photo's too small, but it doesn't look like Davey J's guitar has the Celebrity-shape end of fretboard. Or possibly the pearl bridge pins.

Odd thing is that many photos of this album cover on the web have him playing an O mando...

Then I'd have everything that I would need to do "Losing My Religion" on the street corner!
Except maybe enough Hands! :p

I want the invisible guitar strap he's using to support its weight. :eek:

Location: Tennessee		Nice Porsche. Are there guitars in those pictures?

Davey Johnstone is a longtime Ovation artist, and has been seen with lots of different very nice O's. I imagine he would be playing things the factory got into his hands, which I doubt were Celebs.

Location: 6 String Ranch		yes to both questions.

None of these doubles shown are grafite though. We made a double nylon for Pat Martino.
