Location: closely held secret | If anyone's in the market, there's a very nice Adamas 1 12 string on craigslist. Appears to be in Philly. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I think that this one has been bouncing around Craigslist and Ebay for quite some time now. I emailed the seller months ago with no response and I believe that Stuart Miller has had some contact as well.
Previous 1688 discussion
Either she hasn't gotten her price or she really doesn't want to sell it. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Although somewhat stinging from my failed attempt to get a duplicate 1758-6 this past week, I have always said that things happen for a reason: and the reason is I have just bought this 1688-5! I have been gassing for one since I played Woz's at the Tour and found out what a fabulous 12 string they are! This one is a 1988 and as soon as it arrives I will clean it up, post pic's and a full report! i found Jenny to be a delightful lady who, like my wife, is soon to become a Citizen of the United States; she is from Serbia originally, and her native language and the Russian that my wife speaks are similar...it's becoming a small world!
Well, I am sure everyone is wondering what price I paid...lets just say it is less than what was guessed on the above thread and earlier thread. I am a happy camper! OP-24 electronics like I like and beautiful walnut neck and -5 color w/cwk2's sig. inside...I can hardly wait to hear it! Guess I'll bring that to Amelia as well!
:D ;) :rolleyes: |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Thanks Beal! Its on my wish list! The joke is that I need bigger transportation since I have more guitars than space in the vehicles...if you had seen the Explorer at the Southern Jam...you'd agree!

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Well, tomorrow's the day...been checking and it's due at the PO in the AM...I have not been this excited about getting a guitar in a long while...the 47 was close, but I'm a twelve string guy...have been since way back in the day...Owned just about every brand and model made but I had never played a 1688 until the tour...thanks to Woz for giving me GAS...I don't know if I'll sleep much tonight..."Jenny", you are a dear! I'll post a new thread w/pic's tomorrow afternoon...for me, this is the Holy Grail (no irreverence intended!)...
