Besides....with the limited number that have shown up, the value of mine will only increase. |

Boy, after acquiring the 1537 and being so impressed with it, I started looking at deep bowl, cutaway, stereo two knobber options and settled on this model as being what I wanted next. My only complaint about the 1537 is not having access to the higher frets. I would really love to have one of these but will have to wait quite a while to save up for one.
But I'm really confused about the 1-800-Rip-Offs comment. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm back. Stephen, once I played yours, it was just a matter of time before I had my own. Tom's bacame available and I snagged it. Tom will ship it when he can, but I'm off to Nova Scotia on a motorcycle trip for three weeks on the 12th, so I can't enjoy it until August. I might even stop by the Mothership on my way. Anybody know if they offer drop-in tours? This fills spot No. 2 on my Adamas rack. Spot No. 3 is still being readied for another Adamas if and when the factory might release it. By the way, the custom Adamas neon sign is coming along very nicely. The design and size are finished. I'm trying to decide on the tubing, regular commercial quality or the very top-of-the-line stuff at about $5 more per foot (the sign will require about 100 feet of tubing). I'm thinking go with the best quality available. |

Have a safe trip and keep us updated on the sign.
My hand is a little better to the point that I can almost make a decent sounding barr chord so maybe when you get back we can get together for a jam. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Thanks, Stephen. I already have a gig set for the Adamas II (along the coast in Mendocino CA) so I better learn some songs before then. I intend to take the Trace Elliot TA100R I just picked up because it is small and easier to pack up than anything else. We'll get together in August sometime. |

You'll love it, Professor!
Rumor has it I'll have a 1681 reissue for sale soon.... |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Ok, back in town and finally got a chance to tune and play the II. I love it! It is bit more bold than my Legend Limited, and the cutaway sure makes the higher frets more accessible. It will be awhile before it has that broken-in feel of a guitar that you've been playing for 25 years, so I'll have to get started.
For those of you living in the mid-west, I now have a much better appreciation for heat and humidity. It was awfully hot. In Colorado, we can see triple digit heat but rarely with any humidity. Then again, I was on a motorcycle returning from Nova Scotia so I always had wind to assist in evaporation. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Depends upon the day and destination. At present, I have a 92' Harley Low Rider Custom bought new with 62,000 miles, '99 BMW K1200LT bought new with 48,000 milee, '89 BMW R100GS with sidecar, and '04 Kawasaki KLR 650. I sold a '72 Triumph TR6C Trophy and tricked out '00 BMW K1200RS last spring. I am trying to stick with the LT for long rides with my BMW pals, but the new R1200RT is calling me. It has more HP, 200 pounds less weight, and isn't top heavy like the LT. |

What do Harleys and dogs have in common? |
