The rosewood finger board felt real nice.
It felt like deeper than a deep bowl.... is it? |

I think all the 1581s are deep. |

Location: Nashville TN. | Its Not a Mid bowl. I had a mid bowl with me this substantsubstantially deeper. I felt deeper my deep bowls. I think maybe that its 6 1/16th deep like early Adamas models. It was deeper than 5 13/16th of deep bowl for sure. I had to sit down with it because the reach distance was starting to both my back. (I have an upper back injury) It would have to be a sitting down with it. I am curious what the deepth is. |

Location: Utah | You know, the marketing people are not doing this model any justice.
When it first came out I was going to buy one for Sara as her graduation gift. It was initially listed as a wide neck, which was a requirement for Sara's guitar. Then I found a conflict between being deep and mid depth, and was told it was mid depth (in an email forwarded from the factory via the #1 Adamas dealer). Then the neck width was contradicted, and Mr. Big verified that it was normal width, not wide.
So at that point it was a mid depth normal nut width guitar, according to the factory. And not available in her original pastel blue, either, without a serious upcharge. Later on the bowl was corrected to be deep.
Jeez, not very inspiring of confidence on the part of the factory as to what exactly might arrive on the doorstep for the $2500ish price. (Which is another story in itself, that the list price was as uncertain as the other specs). |

I thought that the 1581s were now midbowl, but the original 1581s and the 1581 30th anniversary RI were deep. Anyone have proof on that? |

Location: Jet City | I have not seen the newer single eppie 1581s in person, but I can verify the originals and RIs to be deep.
There are inconsistancies throughout the website. People are pretty serious about info on their instruments, especially on something as high end as an Adamas or Custom level O.
I agree their act should "get together". It doesn't inspire confidence when they don't even know what it is they're selling. Seems like their's a big disconnect between the folks who care about and know what it is they're doing in New Hartford, and the marketing/corporate people putting out unfinished and unverified info just to call the website "done". They just don't get it.
It's one thing to have incorrect info on discontinued models, but it's absolutely rediculous and bad form to have false info on current offerings. |

So you can get it however you want, right? :confused: :p
