ALLAN HOLDSWORTH CUSTOM SUPERSHALLOW BOWL ADAMAS



One of only two made. Custom non-cutaway supershallow bowl Adamas I. Identical to a standard 1687-8 Adamas I except for the custom bowl. More details are found on my WEBSITE . Guitar was built in 1984.





Setup is perfect, sound is wonderful and it's got all the mojo of a regular Adamas I. Plus the rarity and mystic of being a true one-off (actually two-off) personal instrument of Allan Holdsworth. In addition to being a fine acoustic instrument this would be a GREAT gigging guitar for those who don't want to drag the big boomer on stage or just prefer the onstage comfort of the supershallow bowl.

Guitar is in absolute MINT condition. I had the factory go over it and tweak everything last summer, so you KNOW it's perfect. Comes with hardshell case.

$2900. Incl. Free FedEx shipping in the 48 US States

Email or PM me if interested.

I remember agreeing with someone (perhaps Cliff) that this was about the best gigging guitar you can buy. If this was a cutaway I'd be jones'n worse than I am already. Nice digs man, thanks for offering this here.

I did and we exchanged some thoughts. If this one had a cutaway, it would be difficult to resist. This is a beauty.
