The carbon graphite top is essential to discussing the Adamas.
The uniformly applied vertical lines are sprinkled with sparkling glitter.
It evokes the impression of stars scattered across a galaxy.
The binding features intricate carving.
The soundhole is also essential to Adamas.
The soundhole, adorned with an epaulette (leaf-shaped decoration), is crafted from woods including teak, rosewood, and maple.
The body back utilizes glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) Liracode.
It features a brown-based color scheme.
The deep body contour is perhaps the secret behind Adamas' bold, powerful sound.
The fingerboard is crafted from walnut and features a wooden inlay patterned after three diamonds.
The neck is made of mahogany, with the signature Adamas V-shape that naturally fits the hand.
The construction features mahogany sandwiching maple and walnut.
The bridge uses a carved nut, but the elaborate carving seen on the Super Adamas has been replaced with a simpler design.
Despite its simplicity, the Adamas's captivating tone remains undiminished.
The headstock features the Adamas logo on a design reminiscent of Ovation's Secret Series, rather than the elaborate carvings of the Super Adamas.
This thoughtful approach reduces ornamentation costs, allowing the Adamas to be offered to a wider audience without compromising its sound.
Gold Rotomatic tuning machines are employed.
These stable pegs ensure reliable tuning across diverse playing styles.
The pickup features an FET Preamp.
Controls include a wood knob for BRIGHT/DEEP and VOLUME, accessible on the body side.
This pickup system maximizes the Adamas' strengths—powerful yet expansive—while preserving Ovation's signature sound.
Its decoration is simple yet luxurious, maintaining the Super Adamas's distinctive look.
The weight you feel the moment you hold it and its overwhelming appearance are sure to satisfy.
