Adamas by Ovation Melissa Etheridge 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitar 1598 MERB 2000's Ruby Burst

Acoustic-rock legend Melissa Etheridge collaborated with the Adamas R&D team to design this extraordinary 12-string guitar. Representing the ultimate craftsmanship from Ovation’s flagship workshop in New Hartford, Connecticut, the Melissa Etheridge Signature 12-string features a carbon-fiber soundboard with Adamas fan bracing and a classic Mid-Depth cutaway composite body, ebony fret board, exotic wood epaulets and a custom ME maple symbol at the 12th fret. Melissa personally signs on the inside label herself.

The finish is a Ruby Burst, which is highly reflective, the hues vary with the angle. The action is set low and comfortable, the guitar sounds huge….especially plugged in.

This guitar was built in 2001 and is in excellent condition as you can see in the pictures. The decorative wood soundhole leaves have some areas that have started lifting (see pics). Electronics work as they should. Comes with a very nice form fitting Road Runner hardshell case with keys. Case is in very nice condition with only light wear.

See pics and video for more details.
