Artist Signature and Adamas/Ovation Heritage
Developed with Melissa Etheridge, this 1598-MEIII continues the Adamas/Ovation DNA: high-performance composite top and iconic side soundholes. It stands as a reference signature for guitarists demanding pro reliability, an iconic look, and an instantly recognizable sonic identity, both on stage and in the studio.For Whom and Which Styles
Ideal for intermediate to expert musicians, singer-songwriters, and live performers. Its bright and full register suits folk, pop, rock, and strumming or open arpeggio accompaniments perfectly. The 12-string adds a harmonic shimmer that naturally thickens a mix or solo set.Sound Characteristics
The carbon fiber top combined with Quintad bracing delivers a quick response, tight lows, and clear mids, while the highs remain precise without harshness. The side soundholes project better towards the listener and under the player's ear, providing natural monitoring and a perceived wider stereo image. The Lyrachord GS Bowl medium-depth body balances projection, sustain, and comfort while limiting amplified feedback. The maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide attack and definition, perfect for highlighting the brightness of a 12-string. Plugged in, the OCP-1K + OP-Pro system delivers a clear and musical signal, easily shaped from the instrument, with precise tuning thanks to the integrated tuner.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original character and tension, choose a 12-string DR Dragon Skin DAP-10/12 Light .010-.048 string set (factory installed). For stage and recording, a good quality 6.35 mm (1/4") TS instrument cable will ensure a clean signal to your pedalboard or interface.Technical specifications
