Which Ovation/Adamas model do you feel has the best unplugged sound? I like a nice, well balanced tone, where all frequency ranges are represented equally, as well as a good amount of warmth and projection. | ||

Each has it's own voice, now with that said there was this Q that Cliff had on the tour a couple years ago what an awesome guitar that was. Man she was beautiful long silky legs deep brown eyes soft sweet lips OH back to the guitar it was awesome. Pauly And I was in no way talking about Cliff he would make for one ugly woman I mean UGLY | ||

Jerome's Adamas II slothead 47RI slothead FD14 slothead OFC slothead Not far behind ... Kurt's poo-burst 1687 Jeff's cutaway U681-2 My own acoustic U681 Temp's 1581 single sider Glen Campbell reissue Just one man's view of the world. Dave | ||

The best sounding O/A that I have is the OFC slothead. And I'd proudly put it up against almost anything else. After that, every day is different. | ||

Sometimes a specific guitar has "The Juice". That one definately does.
