Found this custom made Adamas I on craigslist. It's a 1588-9 (12-string Adamas I w/ cutaway), s/n 5876-90 (from 1991). Guitar is still available, IMHO great prize for this guitar.

Nice guitar, but I can't stand that baby-crap green color. Can the mothership change the top color???

I just bought a washer, a car for the stepmonster, and a new laptop for the wife... plus still in the running on a couple auctions.

great price on a great 12... and I like the beige.

oh well.

looks like someone tried to use the bin and oopsed, or intentionally killed the bin by entering an amount just short, then retracting the bid.

hmmmm....

I had a heart attack when I first saw it. I thought it was Red but it just had bad photo's. So I emailed then I remebered the numbers. #9 is Brown. The guy emailed me back and told me it is a custom color blue-tan.......He is either a member of this site and just busting me or he is color blind.
The BIN was a fantastic price. You do not often see the 12 Adamas 1's in the cutaway version. If this was Red I would have bought it and sold my 1688-7.
No matter this is a great guitar, something has happened to Adamas guitars and all of the high end Ovations...........they are selling at about 60 - 70% of their previous market values on ebay anyway and it has been 6 months now.

Good time to buy an Adamas if you want one. This 12 string is about as nice as they come!

I must be eccentric or something but I like that color. I can see the faded-blue tint inside the beige-burst. Wish I had the bucks for a premium 12-string. The cutaway is the best of both worlds..

I entered an amount.
And I didn't retract the bid.
I'm still on it.

Shame this guitar isn't a deep bowl non-cutaway in the beige/blue fade color with an OP-Pro XLR pre-amp and extra bowl sparkle custom made in 2005 in virtually unplayed/new condition. Dave
