Wow, looks like those 'Looking for'-threads are very succesful.
So here is another one:
As some of you guys are doing a little spring cleaning, I am looking for the above mentioned Adamas II model. Must be in pristine condition - and beige or brown. I do not care about the preamp. Two-knobber is not a must, OP-24 or Optima is more appreciated.
If somebody has a brown or beige Adamas I 1687 for sale, would work also.

One more thing: If there is somebody who needs room for Collings, Martin or Takamine guitars and wants to get rid of his Book Mandolin - just tell :D

Best regards, Kurt

I'll bet they sound much better than those old Ovation mandolins with that gay epaulets... Must be! The Book Mando not even has the sound-enhancing Sunburst finish!

Kurt, seems the April OFC calendar page evoked some book mando GAS! Anyway, marvelous sounding and looking instrument. BTW: I'm just adopting another specimen of the book instruments. Hope to get it next week.

I hope so, too! One very long guitar that I do not have to bring to the E-OFC-G!

Karl, thanks for the link.

But I am looking for a non-Cutaway one, 1681 or 1687.
This would just be another 1581 - that I already have. And there is no room left for twins. Didn't you know? :)

Regards, Kurt
