Location: Boise, Idaho | That neck with the little nubbit on the end looks funny on a multihole. It also says the neck is bound, which it isn't. Wonder if he'll throw in the stage for me to jump on and the audience for me to turn to. |

(when you fill out those "detail" on listing, left-handed is the default if you don't change it)
Gee Mark, I think that the little curly-q looks kinda neat like that. |

What's far more curious is that it has the Adamas headstock logo on a wood top Elite, with what looks to be the multi-ply wood binding characteristic of the 1537/1538/1547 guitars. And what's that pre-amp? It looks like an OP-X, but with a tuner in the style of the OP-20/30/40/50 series.
Definitely a "one-from-column-A, two-from-column-B" git. |

Location: Delaware | Thanks for all the comments. Wasn't looking for sympathy just wanted to know if it was salvagable. I don't really care about value and I wanted an older one not a new one for less which I know I can buy any time. I just thought this one looked good in the listing and if as shown would have been happy even at $200. I wanted to know if it can be salvaged because if so I want to make a deal with seller to keep and still get at least most of my money back. Then I'd try to repair it rather than going to the trouble to ship a dead solider back. Does this make sense to anyone? I guess I was hoping some suggestion how it could be repaired might come forth. I notified the seller today in no uncertain terms that I will not accept the guitar and I'm giving them a chance to deal squarely before I file a claim etc. |
