Here's my introduction ~.
~I'm going to be owning my first Adamas as my Christmas present for this year and I can't wait!
Its a 1587-8. I'm hoping this will be the only guitar I will need!
I will update when I actually get this guitar in my hands and really see how a deep bowl sounds.
The only Ovation I've really played is the Applause, and thats what inspired me to move up! Such balanced tone and projection, perfect playability with ease... perfect for someone like me! And thats just a Korean made Applause, So the Adamas must be a dream!" |

This is especially important when looking at pictures of guitars. |

2) I use two different approaches with my Adamii: Adamas Silk and Steel on the 08C (soft to touch, light and with a gentle tone); and Adamas Mediums on the 1680 (Phosphor-bronze 13s) which really project, but are a bit harder to fret.
Experiment, find something you like. Different strings seem to work better with different guitars and your taste in sound. |

"Here she is! Dropped off by UPS last night... I was scared when I was expecting arrival all day lying in wait and finally came late into the night... Opened up the package in anticipation with the feeling of being a kid on Christmas morning! And what do you know everything was perfect! No shipping damages that I see (Thank God) and even better than I imagined! Such a beautiful instrument from the very first strum. Now I know how it feels to finally be a part of this Adamas family! Its just perfectly suited for my playing style, and I feel I can learn so much more from this piece of art; I feel honored. I just graduated college for Music Business and hope I can take my knowledge and create beautiful music for myself and others.
Maybe NOW I can be accepted into the OFC ~.~" |
