                  Special
                    ordered from Brian Guitars.  Originally, Ovation
                    founder Charles Kaman hand inspected/played all Adamas
                    guitars before they left the factory, and hand signed the
                    label. By 1981, his son, Charles Kaman II, had taken over
                    the inspections & signing.  I wanted both to sign
                    mine.  Brian Cohen, owner of Brian Guitars, knew them
                    both personally and said he could make it happen.  He
                    delivered on his promise. |

                  The
                    top bracing cracked on this guitar within a year. 
                    Ovation replaced the guitar in 1982 with a new guitar. Unfortunately,
                    it only had Charles Kaman II signature on the label. 
                    Oh well. |
