Ovation Super Adamas 1678-8 1979 – Reverse Blue Burst

Description

Rare collectible alert! This 1979 Ovation Super Adamas 1687-8 is a standout piece of acoustic history from Ovation’s golden era of innovation. Made in the USA, this guitar blends futuristic design with legendary tone and stage-ready electronics — and it’s getting harder to find in original condition like this.

What makes this one special:
🌟 Carbon/graphite composite top — Ultra-thin and incredibly responsive, delivering huge projection, long sustain, and crystal-clear articulation.
🌟 Multi-soundhole design — Improves resonance and helps reduce feedback when amplified, plus gives it that unmistakable Adamas look.
🌟 Deep Lyrachord bowl back — Lightweight and durable with a focused, powerful acoustic voice that cuts through a mix.
🌟 Walnut neck and fingerboard — Smooth feel, stable performance, and classic vintage character.
🌟 Original wooden volume and tone knobs — A cool, premium touch found on early Super Adamas models.
🌟 Stereo output jacks — Allows for advanced signal routing (split pickups, blending, or stereo rigs), making this a killer stage and studio instrument.

Tonally, this guitar is bold and articulate with bright, shimmering highs, tight lows, and rich harmonic detail. It responds beautifully to both light fingerstyle and aggressive strumming, and it absolutely shines when plugged in.

Cosmetically, it shows normal signs of age consistent with a vintage instrument, but it plays solid and sounds incredible. Whether you’re a collector, studio player, or performer who wants something truly unique, this Super Adamas delivers tone, history, and serious visual presence.
