Thanks guys,

Was a wierd auction with the shill bidders bidding not to win. I reported one who has retracted mulitple bids.

I have been lurking here lately, too tired to post. the walk to and from the blood bank is long, but only another 789 trips and i will have the slothead adamas paid off. ...

The thing I will say about the slothead is that it rings and sustains ..alot like the shiny bowl ovations. the slothead is light to my feel, but rich in tone...I think all who pony up for the #47's and/or OFC will be pretty happy campers.

play it tune, peace mike

Great guitar and even with the shills, still sold for a realistic price.

S28's right. This is a good price for a great guitar. In the pics, it's just beautiful. I haven't been playing my 12 string Adamas I (Big Blue) much over the last 6 months because of the recent aquisition of the 87 C, the 1773LX, and the FD14, but this last week, I've been playing it again, and now remember just how good it is. If it were my only guitar, I'd feel just fine....

It's weird that they let some kid loose with his crayons on the label.....

It's ok about the label, I have my can of white spray paint ready and willing...but to be even safer, I thought I would use the foam insulating spray cans. bout three, or four cans should do the trick.

I wonder how many 1188's, 1189's and/or 1187's were made? To be honest, I wasn't ever sure they made an 1188. I thought the only way to get one was to have it custom ordered. can't wait for it to arrive. peace mike

I have recorded 52 Adamas I guitars on the Internet over the past years. This was the first acoustic only. So you will really get a rare piece. Enjoy it!
