Hello Everyone!

I've decided to take the plunge and search for an Adamas, the guitar I've wanted for years. I'm looking for one in nice, playable condition and would like to spend $1000 (or less!). I am not looking for a mint instrument but rather one that has been well cared for -- a players guitar. A case would be a plus but not necessary.

Send Mike a message at mrborkum@hotmail.com if you have any leads.

Are you looking for a newer model or one of the older textured top models? You could get one of the newer ones for a grand or so, but the older models go higher.

A newer one is fine. I see new ones listed at $1200 and up but see very few used instruments. Looks like people hang on to them -- which is actually a good sign in and of itself. I was hoping to find a well-played but decent instrument for less, but I may have to buy new. I'm one of those people who prefer buying used to new.

Just took at look at lostartvintage.com as in the previous reply and saw tons of Adamas instruments. Thanks -- looks like the tip I needed. -- Mike

Thanks for the responses! I was able to buy a 1982 Adamas II for $650! It's on its way now from Chicago. Thanks to everyone for responding to my request. There are some great Adamas instruments out there in the $1000 range from great people who are OFC regulars. Why deal with eBay when there's a super community on these boards.

That's a great price. Make sure you post some pics after it arrives.
