Ovation 1581-5 Adamas II 30th Anniversary Reissue
Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Adamas II guitar is an accurate recreation of the
classic model played by countless touring musicians over the past 30
years. Ovation's "Original Patented Pickup" and stereo preamp
combine for a sound that sets the standard for live and studio
performance.
Adamas acoustic electric guitar uses six piezo electric transducers
located directly beneath a Delrin saddle that is set to achieve proper
intonation. String vibrations are not only amplified from the top of the
saddle, but their mechanical action on the Fibronic Soundboard is also
transmitted. This patented system produces a clear, natural, uncolored
sound picture of exceptional depth and presence, and as loud as the music
might demand.
The stereo feature is wired so that, when used with the stereo Y-chord
supplied, the output of strings 1, 3 and 5 goes to one channel, and 2, 4
and 6 to the other. Separation of left and right channels is achieved when
used with a stereo amplifier/PA or two individual amps.
The built in Adamas FET Preamp reduces hum and line noise, giving the
guitar virtual immunity to feedback. Separate volume and tone controls are
mounted at the waist of the acoustic electric guitar for ease of
adjustment and quick visual reference while playing.

suspended ring", provides an extremely thin and responsive
soundboard. It's 12-fret-to-body design and deep bowl also contribute to
