And ... black never goes out of fashion |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Iffy asked "Ya ever play one?"
When I went to the 'Northwest Mini-Gathering' at gh1's (Greg's) house there was a blue one that I played.
Y'know that really yucky blue that only looks good on an Adamas.
I was dumber then, so I do not know the model.
I said back then... "I gotta get me one of these!"
I kinda wanted to get the yucky Reverse Blue Burst, but I will take what I can get. |

…I couldn't find the thread, but didn't you recently say that you hadn't paid over $800 for any of your guitars? It's so heartwarming to see someone achieve a personal best… ;)
…and. again, my memory is not dependable, but isn't that your first Adamas?
You're King of the World!!!!
Enjoy It, but PLEASE don't cut holes in that one… ;) |

I'll take a black topped Adamas over any of the bursts.
On the other hand, the absolute LAST color I'd choose for a wood topped guitar would be black.
And Doc.... good to hear from ya. |

OMA, as the WESB\'s would say, you're RURNT now. |

And LOOK! No Snot Blob! :p
And I'm not sure... But I think the stick-on epaulets are thicker than the top material.
Like others have said, It's like a drum-head! |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Back to seeking an Edjumakation... :confused:
What is that fretboard made outta? Walnut?
Any care and feeding tips of that kind of fretboard that anyone can recommend?
What should I use, or more importantly what Shouldn't I use to clean the top?
[It has sludge or maybe human-oil around the bridge and where people rest their pinky]
Should I toss a Herco humidifier can into the case, at least for the fretboard?
Any other pointers? |

Location: Sydney, Australia | It's resin impregnated walnut, which I guess means they've filled it up with some liquid gunk that goes nice and hard. Otherwise you'd wear through the fretboard in a year or so. I just use mineral oil.
The top is tough as nails, it's just a matter of staying away from harsh abrasives or something that will leave a residue. Mildly damp cloth seems to be the favourite, a Mr Big t-shirt for the ultimate in cool.
Adamas will be more resistant to humidity variation, but it's good to keep it in the right range. Where I live never gets too dry so it's not a worry. |

It's not a 'Reverse Blue Burst' but... Did I do good?
