Chris, I agree completely. Ovation was there before Guild and the business took things as it did. At our first LMG event, I was glad to see Frank Untermyer and the rest of the crew looking at Guild as an opportunity and not as an interloper destroying a home brand. Anyway, I came at Ovation completely differently, obviously, but am very glad it's still happening there. Do you know if they're still making Adamas?
I believe the Adamas line are the ones being made in New Hartford, CT.

Not that we ever believe websites, especially ones that are Copyright 2020, but the Ovation Custom Shop is in New Hartford and making instruments to order.


The Adamas line is specifically identified as MIA.


I use waffle words all of the time when I am too lazy to look something up but we know enough about Ovation that we don't have to :)

Some of the Adamas models reference the Connecticut factory and/or New Hartford, CT

I think I would like me an Ovation 12 string guitar.

I had, or rather my wife had an Ovation once when she wanted to learn to play. When sitting it would slide off your lap unless you had it strapped on.

Yes, the ovation bowl is not for everyone...

Well, I *hope* Adamas are still being made. There are many special Ovation models, but the Adamas are the specialest! :)

My friend applied a non-slip pad that was made specifically for Ovations. Not sure where he bought them from, but all of his Ovations had them.
