Location: South of most, North of few | Just received my 1614 that I bought on the bay, and I couldn't have been more pleased. This guitar could be sold as new if if had the frets dressed. This is, without a doubt, the best score I've made on Ebay. I will have this one a VERY long time! As soon as I can get it together, I'll post some pics. (I'll be playing it tonight!) :D :D :D |

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy (except for me of course). Congrats and enjoy.
I will have a Folklore again one day! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I think my 1614 is also my best ebay find. I wonder if people don't know what they are (thinking they are for nylon strings) and that hurts the market. Lets not tell anyone until the whole OFC has at least one. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Same with mine! But I put a set of Martins that came with it. It's about due for a change. The preamp in mine is a little scratchy, but I never plug in anyway. I love em. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Nice guitars, Jim. I don't think my family room is big enough to line mine all up. Sure like that blue Adamas. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Mark, I'm toying with the idea of sending the Adamas in for a restore. I just don't know if I want to let it go. |
