Ovation / 1984 Super Adamas 1687-8

"It sounds beautiful, yet somehow feels lacking."
Does this vague sense of "sound's limitations" ring a bell?
Wood-bodied acoustic guitars are wonderful. There's no doubt about that.

But if you've played for years, you've surely sensed it.
That there might be another level, another world of sound.

Many guitarists who've held the Super Adamas say this:
"When I first played it, I thought it was a completely different instrument."
The sensation that the slightest nuance of your picking is instantly translated into sound.
The liberating feeling as chord tones expand three-dimensionally throughout the entire space.
And an acoustic design that envelops you seamlessly, from the lowest bass to the highest treble.
It's a sound wood can't produce, and a sound only the Adamas can deliver.

The Super Adamas 1687 is Ovation's perfect answer to the question: "How can we make the body resonate even more?"
A carbon graphite top inspired by aerospace technology.
This reduces the top plate thickness to one-third that of a standard acoustic guitar, maximizing its vibrational potential.
This thin top material instantly converts the delicate string vibrations into sound, achieving responsiveness and harmonic richness unattainable by any other acoustic guitar.

The 1984 Super Adamas 1687-8 we present here is precisely from that "golden era."
Among fans, it's said that "Adamas models up to around 1984 had thin tops."
Its sound is delicate yet powerful, like thin glass vibrating, revealing entirely different expressions with just the strength of your picking.

Furthermore, this particular model strongly retains specifications unique to its era, such as the FET preamp and wood knobs.
Its presence is so striking it feels more like an art piece than an instrument.

Its deep body color, expressed as color code "8," evokes the indigo hues of the pre-dawn sky.
The color of that moment at 4 a.m., when the city sleeps and the sky transitions from black to indigo, then gradually takes on a faint glow.
It possesses a presence that is fantastical yet carries a nostalgic beauty.
In your hands, this guitar will play not just sound, but a "scene."

Furthermore, renowned artists who were active in Japan's acoustic scene during the 1970s and 80s, such as Kousetsu Minami and Chiharu Matsuyama,
have entrusted their hearts to Adamas.

This particular instrument was made in 1984.
Adamas guitars from this era are scarce, and prices continue to soar even in the international collector's market.
Furthermore, an instrument preserved in such beautiful condition is extremely rare.
It's not something you can simply search for and find.
Your encounter with this guitar might only be possible "right now."

Adamas will add new depth to your music.
Its sound and presence cannot be fully conveyed by specs alone.
