But it's a nice guitar at a realistic price. |

Location: big island | this appears to be the first auction as seller that this person has participated in. will only take bankwire to hong kong. red flags! :eek:
love the color though. it especially contrasts nice with the epaulettes. this combo probably looks better with the brown bowl color rather than black. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I believe those were made for japan market. The reissues over there were different. There was an Adamas I reissue CUTAWAY that was very nice. This teal green/blue color has been done on some other Adamas guitars. I think it looks pretty nice. Dave |

Location: Japan | I had one in that color for a short time back in '97 or '98 and it had the (at that time) brand new Optima in it.
Got rid of it shortly to go with the more standard, and less flashy blue. |
