Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Originally I was asking $1350 for this guitar, but in honor of the OFC Phoenix rising from the ashes, how do you folks feel about $900 shipped in the continental US? It's more than worth it!
Here's the original ad (with a complete description) and a couple of pics to whet your appetite.
Ahhh...S'good to back to normal around here right Trader Jim?

Location: South of most, North of few | Great price Patch, but you're lowering the values by selling so cheap. It'll make a nice piece for someone! |

Location: So Cal | Yes, well I am hoping what they say is true about the Adamas guitars being capable of temperature and humidity changes.
I might need a paddle when it shows up on the door step.
Thank you Patch. She will have a good home here in SoCal and no more chilly winters. |

I finally have received the guitar. Packed very well and no obvious damage. She is in beautiful shape for a 14 year old.
There is one problem though. The woven carbon fiber face is separating from the body in at least two places along the top edge of the bowl. From what I can see about 25% of the soundboard is pulled loose from the body.

The box and packaging was perfect. There is not even the slightest damage to either the box or case. You did a supreme job packing her up and I can't thank you enough for that.
The face is just loosing it's bond to the bowl. I would not have even noticed it except I was tapping the face and heard a rattle like sound. Curious, I thought. Sounded much like a loose pickup wire or something. Upon examination it turned out the face is loose around the upper epaulet and mid upper bowl. Visually it cannot be seen without applying a little pressure from inside the bowl outwards.
I don't know if any shipper would grant a claim in view of the box condition.
