As some of you know, my "Honolulu" 12'er is in BAD shape, SO, I am considering doing some customization "things" to her once she is sent to the Mother Ship. I have some of my own ideas, but can you guys and girls give me some suggestions or recommendations? I read the options on the Adamas site, but I'm still not sure. HELP! I might as well take advantage of the opportunity, I think. There's no way I'd let her just die off. Thanks in advance! I will be interested in your opinions and/or suggestions.

;)

Well, on second thought, I will probably leave her 'stock'; I just sort of wandered off in my head there, haha. I suppose I could make her periwinkle sparkly blue with ... KIDDING! Actually, she can't look much cooler than she already does ... ah, nevermind!

Good. I figure with something like that, the factory got it right and I wouldn't change it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to do all these reissues.

As most here know, the factory does industry leading repairs. Personally, I would return it to factory specs. It will be a great guitar when you get it back. Don't mess with perfection. Just my .02.....

Willa, from the sounds of it, they'll be replacing the top (and hence, the bowl as well). For a little extra, you can get a customised guitar. Why not choose the colour/preamp/bowl type that you want?
