Location: Paris/France | Hello,
The asking price is $1600 (or reasonable offer...), she's not in mint condition but it's a NICE OLD LADY FROM MAY 1978!!!
...and signed by C.H.Kaman!!
I love those vintage guitars and I hope that someone here will be glad to adopt it.
I can't even if I'm very tempted...
J :)

| WOW - what a steal. Where's Moody? He should snatch it up just to hold onto it in case not everyone here sees it right away. I'm on a guitar buying moratorium for the moment, else I'd be all over this. |

| I am not quite sure what it is... but these early Adamas 1's all have a look about them that is just not present in the later models. |

LOL, Steve, that a good one...I laughed for a couple of minutes...axtually I am watching several Logic Express auctions and can at least get that...in a month or so I'll get an apogee...
But Adamas I's like this seldom come along...Ya snooze....well, you know....
I'm just thankful for my friends on the board who are helping to make it happen...
What goes around comes around: that's so true... :rolleyes: |

Location: Phoenix AZ | My point was, they introduced the stereo 2 knobber electronics with the slotheads, so why did some of the early paddle heads revert back to mono?
Were all the a/e slotheads stereo? |
