Ovation Launches New Adamas - Kaman Music News

Year: 1998

This is a single page from Kaman Music News (page 2) announcing Ovation's redesigned Adamas guitar family for 1998. The article covers two main products: the all-graphite Adamas Q (Model Q181-4G, retail $5,999) featuring a revolutionary neck-through design and woven graphite top, and the updated Adamas model (6581-OB/6581-5HG, retail $2,499) available in opaque burgundy and high gloss black. The piece highlights Ovation's history of innovation with composite materials dating back to Charles Kaman's 1966 Roundback design.
