But this looks like somebody here might want it.
It only has an OP-Pro, but you can change that!
Here ya\' go...
I can't transfer photos over here cuz of the new evilBay format! :mad: |

[Like, I can spell 'Dyslexia' but had trouble with 'sinking'...]
Y'know... I can tell you what I was doing in July of 1973, but I can't tell you what I did last week. :eek: |

I was just offered by a real nice OFC-Member here that he could pick it up and ship it to me if I decide to buy it...
Argh... GAS is really taking control... Help! |

I'm afraid though I decided already.. I'm just not so sure if making debts for a Guitar would be very clever. On the other hand... having the FUD and UTE together sounds pretty much like heaven... I will think about it and talk to some friends. I'll let you guys know how I decided... ;)
Edit: and regarding to the photos THIS UTE looks in a pretty damn good condition... doesn't make things easier for me... |

Not trying to throw a wrench in your plans, but have you contacted the seller regarding any issues? I believe there is an additional 3.9% transaction fee for non-US currency transactions so you may want to see if the seller is willing to take the hit or if you will need to cover those fees. |

Send an email to Weaser P.
He indicated to me he might be willing to sell his UTE.
That way you might be able to work at a time frame that is more comfortable for you pocketbook and also buy from a respected (maybe!!) member of the OFC.
That would be a potential win/win for both of you! |

I'm surprised it took that long. When I put that up there I thought some 'citizen' would snatch it up. And I wanted one of y'all to get it.

congrats to you for your new baby. Let me know, how it sounds, when it is by you. I haven't played an Adamas before, because I don't like the top of it. I prefer a wooden top. But I'm curious to your experiences.
Best wishes to you and for your new guitar.

I'll think you all be right, but on stage the carbon top is not an eye-catcher (I think). My collectors '95 with it's fine high gloss spruce top shines like pearl.

I don't think the carbon top is as good an eye catcher as a nice wood top, but that's also a personal preference. But once the audience heard this one, they wouldn't care if it looked like a beat up banjo. It's a killer. |
