Location: Hicksville, NY | This is my first time seeing an Adamas going over 10k for its selling price. It must be very special.

:eek:
Just trying to help. :cool:
Anyway, I hope Dave gets it if he isn't having second thoughts about the amount of the ante. That's a MAJOR purchase, but it looks like one of the better specimens. |

Location: Keller, TX | Dave is either
1. Still mad that he sold me his Adamas II or
2. Upset that he couldn't go to the slothead reunion, or
3. (My guess) He couldn't find a carbon-fiber topped UKE in pastel-blue |

Are you trying to get this guitar so that you have a reason to use your string tubes? :rolleyes: Good Luck |

Location: Phoenix AZ | String tubes are not necessary on Adamas 1's. Look at this photo. That's why Adamas 1 always sounds better than Adamas 2. You guys think I'm kidding about the string tubes - I'M NOT.
Adamas 1 - No string tubes required |

And good luck with the slothead Dave! |

Location: Bluffton, SC | I'm not sure that, as a guitar, any one is worth that much. As a collectible, I would have to believe it probably is. But, then again, that's only one opinion (and, admittedly, one from a guy who probably will never be reaching quite that high). I certainly congratulate Fugot though. If I had the resources, I would... |

there must be something very special about this one ...
