Location: Winston-Salem, NC | It's been a while since I've seen one of these posts, so I figured I'd start another one.
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. |

#54 works for me. |

Location: Vermont USA | I have never played an Adamas or Ovation yet that I did not like. 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.

And I was in no way talking about Cliff he would make for one ugly woman I mean UGLY |

4)87 collector's that currently resides in Florida |

After that it's a dead heat ...
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.

Location: SoCal | I tried to think of each of my guitars, and the guitars of others that I've played, and it boils down to how I'm feeling on an individual day.
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. |

It's the only thing that makes sense Jerome was referring to his Adamas II black wideneck. I've played it and it is AMAZING. Sometimes a specific guitar has "The Juice". That one definately does.
