Location: New Mexico | Just noticed this out on the auction site. Thought something had shot my eye out. Wow.. Now that is alot of MOP.

Not knocking the guys special order but no wonder their was a shortage on MOP that year. Now don't trip over each other trying to get your bids in. :eek: |

I think they are still trying to sell that Adamas with all the faces painted on it. |

| when my local dealer/mom&pop shop sees those types of instruments come in with the over-the-top inlay and custom work...
he refers to them as very.. "Baroque"
which is his code word for F@$#%king ugly... they never seem to get it...
in my opinion they've messed up a good Adamas except for maybe the midi..
but it might appeal to some... but don't think he'll even get an opening bid at that level..

| actually as confused as this seller seems to be about this guitar,
I'm willing to bet the "midi" output that he is referring to is the xlr output :rolleyes:

Location: Sydney, Australia | You'd have to give me a discount below the standard price before I'd even consider bidding on it. It's like a guitar you'd keep at home if you got it cheap, but wouldn't want your friends to see it in case they laugh at you. |

As you can tell, Humboldt County runs second to Mendocino County in the quality department. :cool: |

Location: enid, ok | Not knockin' the man, I enjoyed him and his show for years when I was a kid. I just think the suit and that guitar share a few common traits. I'm also thinking about a pair of those see-thru high heels with the goldfish swimming in them. AD, I'll bet you're right about the "midi". |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I love bling, but there is a point of diminishing returns, and I think this guitar is somewhere past that point. Nonetheless, at the right price (not any more than most other used Adamaii), I could see it hanging on my wall, if for no other reason than "Wow, look at that fretboard!" |

A little inlay looks good, but that one flew past that point quite a while ago. Those eppies look like the ones on that Sam Ash guitar that was floating around a while ago. |
