| I think I've seen this one change hands like 4 or 5 times on the bay over the past year and a half, they also mucked up the headstock, and the pins have changed colors a couple times... but I think it's the same guitar.. also a shim not under but beside the opp.... can they do a Bridge replacement on it? and maybe sandblast the hs?

Location: Sydney, Australia | I don't understand how (1) someone could appreciate quality enough to lash out on an Adamas I and then be moronic enough to destroy the bridge. What were they thinking? "Oh, they forgot to put a mechanism in for attaching strings? It's so much easier to use bridge pins than just slotting it through".
2) Who would pay that much for a mutilated Adamas I when other people are selling perfectly good ones for less? |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Here's probably what happened. The string retension holder probably broke and he couldn't figure out what to do so the pins can into play.
I've seen this one before too. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | I sort of forgot about it, but the pinless bridge is one of the real sweet features of an ovation. It's been over 20 years since I had to pull a pin out and I remember struggling, breaking fingernails trying to extract them from a friend's guitar. Why wouldn't you send an expensive guitar to a luthier, if not the mothership? |
