Location: SoCal | I'm trying to find a pic of it, but didn't Ovation show this guitar at NAMM 2014? The guitar I remember played and sounded wonderful. Anybody got a pic of it? I tried to find it on Jerome's website, but couldn't. |

THANK YOU DAMON!!!

God Bless you Damon!!!!
WOW!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank You for the Specs on the new ones - one Guitar Store had the 2098-AV40 listed at $12,600, for sale for $9599.00 Kind of blew me away...
The BearClaw is listed as Shallow Bowl on the Title and the Specs show Midbowl...
Thank you for posting the Correct Specs!

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | The specs are still "in flux" as they say. I actually am putting them together with info from Ovation as they come. Damon started the thread and people started responding, so I'm just editing the original post as news comes in and updates are received. There are still some question, possible typos, clarifications.... but it will be sorted out soon. |

Love that wood binding.
Of all the details on that guitar, which are all great, I agree.. the binding really sets it over the top. |

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Ok, there are:
Adamas 1, BearClaw
Adamas 2, Tear Drop
The Center Hole, Cutaway Legend
The Center Hole, Non-Cutaway Folklore
The Gold Leaf Black Elite
Are there 2 versions of the Gold Leaf Black Elites?
There is a Cutaway one with a Peg head, and a
Non-cutaway with a slot head - both have the 50th Phoenix on them...

Though looking at the specs the 2077, 2078 and 1678 have: Top: AAA Bearclaw Spruce Top
Top Finish: Gloss Black Why would they paint over the bearclaw?

| Why are the Adamas 40th Anniversary models? Is it because that's the 40th Anniversary design or is it that the first Adamas came some years later?
Will there be 50th Anniversary Adamas models? |
