78 Adamas wideneck

moody, p.i. Posted 2004-11-17 9:29 AM (#339813) Subject: 78 Adamas wideneck Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15682 Location: SoCal There's a 78 Adamas wideneck on ebay right now with the bidding at $2550. It's nice to see an Adamas move into a price range in which it belongs. After looking at the Taylor price list, I would guess that a guitar like this Adamas should be selling for at least a grand over where the bidding is right now. Al, no comments on price police please. moody, p.i.

Why did this go for so much more than the 1687's that have recently been sold on ebay?? Is it the color, the wideneck, or both?

I am not sure what additional info was provided by the Seller upon request but I guess it instilled confidence. It also follows in a wave of "Slothead" and Adamas I frenzy. Go figure. stonebobbo Posted 2004-11-17 4:15 PM (#339818 - in reply to #339813) Subject: Re: 78 Adamas wideneck Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee I see that "Elias9" bid over $3,000 with six seconds to go and didn't win it.

First I would like to thank every one on this site for the nice things said. I was supprised that it went as high as it did. I, like every one els thought that arround 2K would get it. I did answer a lot of questions via email about the condition ect. I also sent out a lot of extra picts as well. Didn't really want to part with her.........but alas I am a pilot. And have a daughter in college. (we don't make as much as every one thinks) I hope to own one again someday as this is the best guitar ever made. Thanks again to all.

When you want the next one this is a good place to start your search.
