I think there's two up now, a red one and a natural. One has an optima and the other an opx.

Hey JP,
There were a few unsold red ones in Ebay's completed items. This newer one is a natural with the later electronics. Wish I had the bucks, this seller seems legit and the guitar looks to be in good shape.

Bowl depth.

As they went from the glass bowls (deep) to the Lyrachord mids is my guess.

Keep in mind that Longnecks are a "standardized" custom order so you can specify your wants from what is available as well.

If you order a new one go with an LX and a Contour bowl.

Steve, wish I had the bucks too. The UTE tapped me out. I was looking for a longneck in natural when I happened on the UTE and couldn't overcome the gas pains. Oh well, next time.

Ahh thanks Mike, I like the natural tops, never could get used to the Red that was always so over used. No offence to anyone with one in red, they are great guitars no doubt, it's just me........I have color quirks!
I have been after an Adamas 1 Baritone that I blundered into a while back.. I actually bought it, sent the cash, but the seller decided he did not want to part with it at the last minute and sent the money back. Dam....never had that happen before... I have contacted again and he is waffeling again as he does not use it much anymore. I have made him a good offer but it is going to hurt if he accepts. Could have come close to owning a slothead instead but would rather have this long neck as I have written some pretty cool music now in alternate tunings as low as I can get my standard Adamas's to go. So a baritone will be a better choice of a guitar for the herd right now. I hate to do it but I sure could use to sell that Elite Bass I have to help with this buy.
If I can't make this deal happen I might look for one of the deep bowls on ebay or elsewhere.
Not sure I want to go the money for a custom made one and not end up with an Adamas. I am kinda spoiled with the ovations and fairly used to getting some fancy notes on my blue guitars lately.
