| Actually I've been watching this one. Only 1 day left, no reserve, and at a ridiculously low price. I'm sure it'll go much higher in the last minutes.
(Like I could get another guitar right now :rolleyes: ) |

Location: Germany | Right, model number is the same. But there is a small but important difference. Take a close look to the binding. The very early Adamas II guitars didn't have a suspended top ring but a cheap plastic ring . To my knowledge they tried to make the Adamas II less expensive but the solution didn't prove one's worth. So they soon (between s/n 1500 and 2000) switched to the suspended top ring know from the Adamas I model.
The plastic ring models are very rare (I'm happy to own one) so they are of value for a real collector. But if you prefer quality choose the suspended ring model (you also get a deeper bowl with it!).

$1250 or less would be an excellent value. it is a buyer's market currently so it probably won't go over $1500. butchaneverknow. |

And our flooring isn't quite like that.
And mine is still on the stand.
But, she has been taking a lot of pictures.
And screwing around with Photoshop.
Hrmmm. |
