This'll either make you want to quit, or go back to the woodshed (which is what I'm doing!).
And what a tone!

Thanks for the link.

Makes me wanna just go back to my manicurist and get my fingernails put back on.
I think I'll go back to knitting or something.
Thanks for sharing that! |

I am going to go order a bongo and sell the guitars. The guy plays better with one hand than I can with two (and maybe three or four) |

Location: North Carolina | If anything, seeing Legg and Kaki King play have sold me on the tone of the Adamas. Gotta get one. But if you are devastated by Adrian Legg's playing, do not, under any circumstances, watch Don Ross play. |

Location: Flushing, MI | Adamii??? Is that a proper plural for Adamas???
Yeah, I was vaguely aware that he'd taken up with a different brand, but I've really not been properly exposed to the guy until just recently. His playing transcends the instrument. As far as I'm concerned, he could be playing an old beat up Kay and I'd still love it. |

No, seriously, I'm selling all my gear tomorrow. |

Well I guess altimers (SP?) can effect anyone then. He obviously DID have good taste in guitars at one time. I guess he still has good taste in pickups. |
