This is one of Adamas' finest acoustic-electric 12-string models from the late ’90s — combining innovative design, exceptional playability, and lush, shimmering tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"1193\" class=\"\"\u003eOriginally launched by Ovation as their high-end, experimental division, Adamas guitars pushed acoustic design into new territory with advanced materials, unique bracing systems, and their unmistakable multi-soundhole epaulet tops. The 1598 model, however, stands out for its use of a solid spruce top, giving it a more traditional acoustic warmth while still benefiting from the projection and balance offered by Adamas’ signature design elements — including the rounded Lyrachord composite back and sophisticated fan bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1608\" class=\"\"\u003eTonally, the 1598 offers rich, piano-like lows, sparkling highs, and excellent note separation — traits that are often lost on lesser 12-strings. Whether strummed or fingerpicked, it delivers a lush, expansive voice with superb clarity and sustain. It excels in the studio and shines on stage thanks to the onboard Ovation OP-24+ preamp system, offering built-in EQ and reliable live performance tone shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"2017\" class=\"\"\u003eThis particular guitar has been very well looked after. The top, fingerboard, back, and hardware are all in clean, original condition, with only light signs of play and no cracks, repairs, or major wear. The neck is straight, action is comfortable, and the frets are excellent — a rare find for a 12-string of this age. It comes housed in its original Ovation hard case, also in excellent shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eFor players seeking a high-performance 12-string with distinctive styling, excellent electronics, and true tonal complexity, this 1999 Adamas 1598 is a rare and rewarding option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAction at 1st fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAction at 12th fret: 1.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck depth at 1st fret: 23.52mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 47.05mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12 fret width: 58.26mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 2.8kg \/ 6.17lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eModel: Adamas 1598\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eYear: 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eSerial Number: 14877\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eTop: Solid Spruce with multi-soundhole epaulets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eBack\/Sides: Lyrachord composite, rounded back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eScale Length: 25.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eNut Width: 1 7\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eFrets: 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eElectronics: Ovation OP-24+ preamp with EQ and onboard tuner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2197\" class=\"\"\u003eCase: Original Ovation hard case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838810022207,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G28035253","price":2247.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/1_9de7b5ea-2ed2-4ff0-afed-c18e345f5ab1.png?v=1782094767","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/adamas-1598-12-string-usa-1999","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
