🔽 Let’s deeply read and understand the “ideal acoustic” that Ovation pursued now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ovation / 1994 Super Adamas 1587-2
In the 1970s, aircraft technician Charlie Kaman questioned the common assumption that “acoustic = wood,” and from his inspiration as an engineer to create the acoustic of the future, this story begins.
The “Adamas,” introduced in 1976, was designed to maximize sound through trial and error while respecting the beauty and tradition of the acoustic guitar.
The top material chosen was carbon fiber.
By achieving both rigidity and thinness, it realized a “thin, strong” top that conventional wood could not, and is a revolutionary material that fundamentally changed the nature of vibration itself.
As a result, a sound with a strong core was born, distinct from the rounded tone brought about by the aging of wood.
This Super Adamas 1587-2 (made in 1994) is also a guitar that lets you fully feel the design philosophy of a top-of-the-line model.
The moment this guitar produces sound is when it truly shines.
That distinctive Adamas mid-to-low range with a solid, rooted feel.
When you strum it, the entire body responds with a punch that feels like it is being pushed out from the “surface.”
A high end that extends straight out without losing its outline.And the construction of the Lyrachord bowl makes the sound spread widely, like an amphitheater.
The way the sound projects is unlike that of a typical acoustic guitar.
Separation is excellent, and the low notes resonate well. Isn’t this the result of a design philosophy unlike any other?
It is a reliable model in the sense that it allows you to “practice and perform” even more.
The included OP-24 preamp is easy to handle, and the sound-making at the time of amplified output is also intuitive.
Whether in a live setting or in the studio, the control of the sound image becomes readily apparent.
Only Ovation gives you the pleasure of enjoying the sound at the moment of output.
It may look like a “modified species,” but it is the result of pursuing performance, durability, and sound at a high level.
For those who want to make sound their weapon, this is a guitar we wholeheartedly recommend.
