From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

The Adamas 2080-ES is acoustic artistry, with striking ultra-modern materials and design. Rich with projection, it features elegant styling and is limited to just 30 pieces.

Premium features include a deep-contour Lyrachord GS body with Venetian cutaway for classic Ovation tone-shaping and player comfort, woven carbon-graphite top with Quintad œT-shaped spruce bracing for superior acoustic response, natural walnut top binding and classically stylish Adamas hardwood œepaulets.

It also features a smooth-playing walnut neck with walnut headstock, bone nut and black acrylic heel cap, resin-impregnated walnut fingerboard with maple dot inlays and 1/16 white side dots, and a wide walnut bridge with an OCP1-K compensated ivory saddle for perfect intonation, and Schaller M6Ga gold tuners. The onboard OP-Pro preamp features a 3-band EQ, gain control, chromatic tuner, preset tone enhancement circuit and battery/phantom power indicator.

Contour Bowl

Made from glass-microsphere impregnated Lyrachord composite, Ovation' Contour Bowl is designed to provide maximum acoustic response with the feel of a small-body instrument. Sculpted to fit the contour of the player' anatomy, the lightweight Lyrachord GS body is a joy to hold, whether sitting or standing. A Contour Bowl body has the acoustic projection, midrange punch, and huge bottom end of a traditional jumbo-style instrument, yet offers the playing comfort of Ovation' Super-Shallow body. With its tough-as-nails construction, this body shape represents the latest evolution of Ovation' pioneering Roundback design.

OP-Pro Studio with XLR

The OP-Pro Studio with XLR combines state-of-the-art audio quality with exclusive features designed to meet the needs of professional guitarists. The easy-to-operate unit offers 3-band EQ, exciter and compressor/limiter circuitry, and a chromatic tuner. Ovation' exclusive Expressor and Drive sliders put dynamic control and harmonic enhancement at your fingertips, allowing you to precisely dial in the sustain and punch you need. The XLR jack provides a balanced line connection to mixers, recording consoles, and high-end acoustic amps. It also provides phantom power to the OP-Pro”an essential feature for touring professionals.
