Ovation / 1994 Model 1681-8 Adamas II

In the early 1990s, Ovation's flagship Super Adamas model symbolized that "unattainable dream."
Advanced engineering, futuristic design, and a price beyond compare.
In an era when starting salaries for college graduates hovered around ¥150,000, the Super Adamas, priced near ¥1,000,000, was truly a "guitar to behold."
You gave up on it then, yet somewhere deep inside, you never truly forgot it.
Surely, many of you have carried that feeling all these years.

For everyone, the origin of music lies in an "impulse."
The exhilaration of plucking the strings for the first time, the thrill when sound ripples through the air, and that intuitive desire to play that very guitar.
It feels like a flame that continues to burn deep within, even as the years pass.

This Adamas II / 1681-8 is the instrument that reunites you with those memories.
Ovation developed the Adamas II to deliver the ideal demonstrated by the Super Adamas to more players, achieving a high-level fusion of cost performance and practicality. It's not merely a budget version; it retains the core structural essence while adjusting design and specifications to keep the price at a realistic level.

The top employs carbon graphite, just like the Super Adamas.
This delivers a rapid attack and clear harmonics impossible to achieve with wood.
The resonance is brilliant yet never harsh, each note seeming to carry its own light.
Well-defined mid-low frequencies and crystal-clear highs.
This is the unique harmony only the Adamas II can achieve.

Those quiet moments on a sudden day off, picking up your guitar and playing alone in a still room.
Or a night reuniting with longtime bandmates to play together again.
The Adamas II's transparency and presence will surely add new colors to your music.

Please come try it out in-store. Mail order is also available for those who live far away.

Compared to the Super Adamas, I personally find this sleek form, born from its simplicity, incredibly stylish.
The unique sound of the Adamas is unforgettable once you hear it.
I believe it's a guitar that will excel in a wide range of scenarios, both as a raw acoustic and as a Electric Acoustic.
