Location: Newington, CT | ...but, I'd never even heard of this one. Looks a LOT like a 2080, but with different sound holes. If it's at all like a 2080, it probably would be worth the $1,600 the guy is asking for it, but I think he's being optimistic. I DO wish him luck though. Looks just gorgeous!
Here it is. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Good ol' fugot has sold some fine guitars to many members here.
He continues to surprise me with the variety, quality and, many times, the relative rarity of his guitar offerings.
You can buy from him with confidence! |

Location: Newington, CT | Oh, I want it...I just can't afford it. Looks like just a GREAT guitar! I DO wish I could buy it.
I remember the name. "Fugot," that is. Everyone speaks VERY highly of him. Plainly a reputable seller. He's the guy who sold the 2080 12'er to someone on this board. That was ANOTHER one I lusted over! Sparked a lively thread on this board too.!
Whoever gets this one, I suspect, will be one lucky guitarist! |

| For the n00bs: The "Q" series were prototyped as all-composite (including the neck), similar to a Composite Acoustics or Rainsong. The "true" Q's never went into production; the production models used traditional necks. If you ever have a chance to play a proto-Q you're in for a treat (thanks Uncah Beal). The protos had a different top composition, bracing and neck profile, and sound incredible, unlike any other Adamas. The production models have a more traditional Adamas sound.
I bet this 12-er is spectacular, and that isn't an optimistic price for such a rare Adamas.

Location: Phoenix AZ | I've seen and played both the 6- and 12- string versions. The wavy sound ports might be attractive (to some) but it's sonically still a smooth topped Adamas CVT.
A few of the real Q protos also had the wavy ports, but most had the dodge grill. |
