Location: Hiram, Georgia | I'd still like to have it, for the year it was made, all that bling must put it pert near the top.
Heck, if I could get a hold of a kilt, I might even play it out.
btw, I'm wondering if the tops on these will discolor due to aging, it would be interesting to see one about 10 years from now! |

I do appreciate the artistry in that model. Just another flavor to choose from. |

Location: Orange County, California | I must point an observation. Just an observation. Cast your own opinion. This is essentially the same guitar "under it's skin" as the Millennium Edition, which has "outies" BTW(epaulets with out-turned ends for the newbs). They sound and sound and play identically, have the same pre-amp, etc. I would call either of them the best sounding of the smooth-topped Adamas Guitars.
My only question why do I like the Mill-CB so much and hate the MEWP so much?!?! :rolleyes: |

Location: NJ | If you looked around that Factory long enough, you'd probably come across a sheet of just about ANYTHING . . .
One of my favorite places t'visit here in NJ is Thomas Edison's lab in W.Orange. There's a rather large room called the "Material Area". In it is stored rather large sheets, block, spools and chunks of various materials used to test their respective durability, conductivity, and insulation properties. Everything from rare metals exotic woods, to a huge chuck of elephant skin . . .
Pretty impressive place.
His workshop was a rather large two-story building where he prided himself with having the capability of building a pocket watch on the second floor, and a locomotive on the first . . . |
