CARBON FIBRE... like wood – only better.
It's been said that the heart of an acoustic guitar is its top – it pumps out the sound. A stiff top will give you sparkling highs. A thin top will give you powerful lows. The problem with wood tops is that you usually get one or the other, but rarely both.

By using thin layers of carbon fibre combined with wood, we can give both – in every climate and with just about any string gauge.

What's that mean for you?
Many players remark that an Adamas has the balance and complexity of a fine vintage acoustic. We agree. We believe that we've built an instrument for you that's louder, with better dynamics and a wider frequency response than any other acoustic you've ever played.

Take your playing to the next level. Play an ADAMAS.

Crossweave Carbon Fibre Top. An aerospace woven carbon fibre soundboard is the heart of the Adamas CVT. The resulting mid-range muscle is appreciated by players who need to cut through the sonic traffic of electric guitars, keyboards and drums.

Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Top. Wide open. Full Throttle. The Adamas SMT's drive train is the unidirectional carbon fibre soundboard. Fingerstyle, soloists, and small ensemble players prefer the Adamas SMT because of its vast dynamic range and exceptional pitch focus, ie. that intangible sense of space between notes and octaves.

30 years after the original introduction of Adamas, Ovation are honouring Charlie Kaman’s innovative guitars with some new USA-made reissues. One of the first of the limited edition Adamas guitars is model U681T-5. Though nowadays we’re well used to predominantly cutaway body Ovation guitars, many traditionalists have a fondness for the rounded tone of the full-bodied Adamas version. This U681T-5 ‘12-fret to the body’ Adamas had all the makings of a world-class, high end acoustic/electric guitar. Acoustically, the shorter scale length and deep non-cutaway body gave this guitar a wide open tone with exceptional volume and clarity. Check out, too, the attractive classically influenced slotted headstock design on this Adamas.

The Adamas II with its cutaway body design is an accurate recreation of the classic Adamas model played by countless touring musicians over the past 30 years.
Ovation’s ‘Original Patented Pickup’ and stereo preamp combine for a sound that set the standard for live and studio guitar performance for many years.
