Adamas Ovation |
 |
 |
The Ovation Guitar company noticed
that the traditional placement of the
soundhole put undue stress on the
top of the instrument, and reduced
the primary vibrating area of the
soundboard. Whatís more, additional
bracing was necessary to keep the
top from collapsing under 170 lbs of
string pressure.Applying aircraft
technologies, Ovation discovered
that carbon fiber/graphite composite
had all the right characteristics. It
was light in weight yet strong and
resonant like Spruce. Better still, it
was impervious to changes in
temperature and humidity.
The Ovation design team developed
a sandwich: a thin layer of Birch
between two layers of carbon
graphite fibers. Placing multiple
soundholes to the upper bouts of the
top proved to improve the sound.
The guitar with the radical
Roundback bowl now had its mate ó
a space-age top. It was called
Adamas, Latin for diamond. |
