It took me a few days to decide what to part with...this is the only instrument that is redundant in my collection as I have an '81 1687-7 that is stereo while the other '78, #119 is mono. So, this one is available. Just back from a check-up at Mothers place and clean bill of health. It plays fabulous and has mojo to spare. CHK signed May 1978 label...Original case w/factory made Epi Airlocks/feedback busters that fit under the top/epi's...original stereo Y cord included. Also a copy of the 1978 Adamas price list...Wonderful, early piece of Adamas history. $3000 shipped CONUS...first come, first served...

1978 Adamas I #189-89

Never knew about the rain...you never said...

But, yes, if it sells, it is.....I'm not holding my breath....

Paulie, I would have done the same for you and still would...

Look on the bright side: the Patriot's not for sale....

It's been a rough day. A rush order customer recieved the wrong gear ratio on a PTO, spent 48 minutes on the phone with a farmer from southern Indiana and still did not get the $80 sale, and I'm busy sorting out the OFC Calendar orders.

So please... no word puzzles.
Translation please. :)

EDIT... while I was busy typing this, good ol' U.S. posted the (ahem) straight poop.
Thanks U.S.!!

My kids used to think they were getting away with something when they said "friggin" until I started to treat it like they really intended.
Techically they did not drop the F-bomb, but I knew what they meant.

Good luck with the sale Mike.
To bad it probably won't stay in the family.

Actually Brad, it wasn't in "the family" to begin with, so I was glad to be able to welcome it in; but as I haven't yet offered it on the bay, and may not, it will probably just stay at home: in my family and "the family" as well...It's a great guitar and has had a very musical history.
Hope tomorrow goes better for you...hang in there...

US: sorry for snapping at ya...you're entitled to your opinion...just wish they were positive now and then...I did like your story...not so much the ending, but I have my opinions as well...

ESAD was always a better and easier phrase to get out, with the emphasis on the AND DIE part.

Not that I'm contributing to this discussion about the gutar. Just the phrase.
