Ovation Adamas II - French Guitar Review

1980 France 2 pages

A detailed French-language review ('bancs d'essais' meaning 'test bench/review') of the Ovation Adamas II guitar, spanning two pages with annotated diagrams of the instrument's front, back, and neck. The review covers the guitar's key features including its carbon fiber top (Fibronic sandwich construction), walnut neck impregnated with resin, 24-fret fingerboard, gold oil-bath tuners, bone nut, 8 piezo pickups, parabolic back, and built-in electronics with volume and tone controls. The article provides a thorough technical assessment of the guitar's construction, playability, and sound characteristics. (Excerpt from "Sono" magazine #32 from Nov, 1980)
