Location: Whitecourt, Ab | My son is looking at an Adamas 1591 BCB cherry burst. I can't seem to find any information about this guitar.
There is a pic on Jerome's website and a short write-up, but that's all I can find. Anyone own one now or previously, or any tips on where to do some research on this guitar would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Ed |

Location: Tennessee | That's the center round hole version, right? With a SMT top? They never caught on an they stopped making them for a reason.
I didn't like the one I played at all. YMMV. But from what I've heard from some folks in the know, the center sound hole requires a bracing pattern that sucks all the sound out of the top.

Location: Paris/France | I've got one in my collection since few month and it's a very good Adamas.
I really love the look of this model based on the Adamas Proto #17.
According what I've learned about it, less than 100 were produced in 1997 only.

Location: Orlando, FL | I never realized those were actual production guitars. I always thought there were only a couple of prototypes or one-offs. Great history lesson in the sidebar of the ad. Thanks for posting the ad Jerome!
Rededdie, Congrats to your son for a great find!
