A carbon fiber beauty that revolutionizes nylon-string tone and playability.
The Ovation 1687GT Adamas Series Deep Acoustic-Electric Guitar provides an unparalleled combination of tone and durability. With a carbon fiber top and Lyrachord back and sides, this innovative guitar produces a remarkably wide tonal range perfect for any style. Thanks to composite materials, the 1687GT is lightweight yet roadworthy, ready to inspire at every gig or recording session.
A Carbon Fiber Top Unlocks Radiant Highs and Powerful Lows
The 1687GT features an ultra-thin carbon fiber top that generates radiant highs and robust lows. Paired with Ovation's signature Lyrachord body, this guitar delivers a dynamic tonal spectrum wider than any wood can produce. No matter the climate or string gauge, you'll experience balanced response and harmonic complexity.
Innovative Bracing Improves Sustain and Projection
Ovation's patented Quintad bracing system optimizes the carbon fiber top's vibration for enhanced sustain and projection. By suspending the top, Quintad bracing allows it to resonate freely, translating your expressive playing into rich, nuanced tone. The multi-soundhole design also contributes to the guitar's impressive volume and tonal depth.
