PS - The Adamas II slothead is shipping tomorrow to his new owner. Farewell my friend. |

Very nice collection. As you know I got some glare/overexposure in my latest photos also, even with my camera. The meters in most cameras are sensitive to light vs dark areas. If the meter in your camera is reading a dark area that usually leads to an overexposure. The glare can be reduced if you turn the object slightly so that it is not perpendicular to the flash/light source. |

My piano is in plastic and isn't as nice as your, the paper on the wall is ugly but there's something in common between your picture and mine...
That's blue, that's in the middle, that's wonderful and its sound is so good... ;)

povation 4 month ago, I was ready to buy a nice 1587-8 but Adrien (one of my friend), a 19 years old guy full of talent has felt in love with this guitar.
So I decided to let her go to another home...
I have no regret because Adrien is so happy with his Adamas and he's a so good guitarist.
His joy is my reward. ;)
Maybe the next one who knows???
J :)
Adrien with his Adamas and Byron (15 years old) with a nice Al Di Meola playing together.

Location: Holland | I have a question,
It seems those guitars have see-trough pickguards, wich I like to have on my S778 because it's a matt laquer, an it started to get high glossy on my guitar now because where my finger rests.
I'm a newbe here, so it's possible I have a weird question, but I realy like to know it!
Thanks! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The adamas guitars came with a clear material protecting the finish as you see in the photos. It can not be removed. I'm not sure the exact chemistry of it, but sometime when exposed to a lot of sunlight it can turn somewhat yellow color.
You can buy clear protective films which can be applied to your guitar. Some of these are made for automobiles to cover the headlights or for motorcycles to cover the windshields.
