Ovation / 1992 Model 1681-5 Adamas II

“What is the meaning of playing the guitar?”
When we ponder that question, there are moments when we find ourselves facing the person we were when we first started playing the guitar.
Those times spent gently strumming in the corner of a room, with no one to listen.
Music was a more simple, more free creature, existing in a realm unrelated to improvement or evaluation.

This guitar is a tool that reminds us of that “beginning.”
And it’s not just a trip down memory lane.
Combining innovative design with a unique beauty, it grants the player boundless freedom.
It’s not about following your playing skills—it’s about following your initial musical impulse.
It awakens that sensation right at your fingertips.

Manufactured in 1992, this particular instrument is a model Ovation developed to bring the Super Adamas concept to a wider audience of guitarists.
That said, it is by no means the run-of-the-mill instrument one might imagine from the term “affordable price range.”

This Adamas II is a highly refined model that distills the essence of the Super Adamas while seamlessly blending practicality and innovation.
The body top features Ovation’s signature multi-soundhole design.
The intricate carving on the epaulets and the shimmering glitter applied down to the finest details resemble stars scattered across a winter night sky.

Neither spruce nor cedar, the unique carbon-graphite top accentuates the attack of the sound and responds keenly to the player’s nuances.
That sensation of the sound suddenly expanding the moment you lightly strum with a pick. The tone has a solid core; while brilliant, it also possesses a certain “cool stillness.”
The round-back construction delivers deep, long sustain, and its true potential really shines through when played through a line.

The neck is a 5-piece maple and mahogany construction.
It’s sturdy yet fits naturally in the palm of your hand, so you won’t get tired even during long playing sessions.
You’ll know it the moment you play a single note.
It has a unique, unmistakable tone.

It doesn’t belong to any specific genre, yet it blends seamlessly into any.
It possesses that kind of mysterious versatility.
Another noteworthy feature is that it comes with a rare, genuine hard case.

Now, if you’ve read this far, I’m sure you already have a specific vision of what you’re looking for in a guitar.
Is it the sound, the feel, the history, or perhaps the gateway to a musical ideal that exists only within you?

The Adamas II is a guitar that could be the key to that door within you.
Just because you get your hands on this guitar doesn’t mean you’ll suddenly become a better player.
It won’t lead to more gigs, nor will your video views skyrocket.
But one thing is certain: “Playing music itself will become fun again.”
Isn’t that, surprisingly, what really matters?
