USED OVATION / Super Adamas 1587-5 #8760-86, made in 1994 [05]

1994 Ovation Super Adamas 1587-5 cutaway spec, black color, in stock!

When it comes to the King of Electric Acoustic Guitars, many in the industry would probably say "Ovation" or "Adamas". The innovative shape and materials used. There is no doubt that they are truly one and only.

To put it bluntly, it is a guitar for different tastes. The Ovation model made a worldwide impact, captivating guitarists and singers alike, and was first released in prototype form in 1976, and then from 1977 to 1978.

Since its release, it has been discontinued, reissued, and reproduced, but it is still the flagship model of Ovation. That is the "Super Adamas. You may have seen it being used by various musicians in Japan.

Some of them have attracted so many collectors. The carvings on the head and bridge in particular have transcended the boundaries of the guitar and enhanced its presence.

The "Super Adamas" in stock this time is a black-colored "1587-5" 1994 single cutaway model with Adamas' original carbon graphite top, which is about 1/3 the thickness of a wood top but still strong, and a deep bowl body back made of Relacord resin. Walnut neck, Walnut fingerboard, Walnut bridge.

Walnut neck, Walnut fingerboard, Walnut bridge, Schaller pegs, Walnut fingerboard. Original fan bracing, double epaulette sound hole. The preamplifier installed is "OP24".

This "OP24" is a simple "Volume" and "3BAND EQ" preamp that has been installed for many years. (In the beginning, it had only 2 knobs, Volume and Tone.) After that, the model change of the preamplifier was made around 1995, and it became a model with a tuner called "Optima", but many of them had tuner problems, and the popularity is still concentrated on the ones until around 1994.

In terms of condition, considering its age, it is very clean and has few signs of use, and still meets the expectations of players.

There are some notable damages: a slight bump in the paint on the neck heel, a scratch on the head engraving, a scratch on the back and side of the head about the size of a grain of rice, and a few millimeters of dents on the top of the back of the neck. Still, if you look at the body and the overall appearance, I think it is one of the cleanest.

Please pick up the Adamas you have been longing for.
