I'm browsing on ebay some more today. (I hope my hubby doesn't see me browsing. LOL) I saw this Adamas, read the seller's story about it and thought to myself, 'This is the dumbest story I ever heard.'  Then I thought, 'This guy/girl is either a stalker, a rich stalker, or a rich AND dumb stalker.'  WHO spends this much on a guitar if they don't even play and have no intention of playing it??

Maybe he thought Melissa Etheridge's popularity would continue rising over the years, but instead....

Comparatively speaking, that's one of the nicest things said about me here on this forum.

It might have been worth more if it didn't have all of that crap written on it.

What I dont get is why it was written upside down (Melissa must be really talented). When played, you would need an inverted mirror to read it. 

I think.

I think both guitars are very very cool! What would a mint MEII go for without the autograph?

The seller would probably get more for it if they included the Subaru.

Wouldn't a "sexistphobe" be a fear of sexists?

re: that pink Adamas.

I may be a girl and I definitely support the cause for breast cancer, but I would NEVER want a PINK guitar.  Never, EVER, not even an Adamas.  I don't care how great it plays.  Even if Melissa Ethridge ate off it, I wouldn't want it.

Ever!

I would take just about any ovation usa made. Doesn't matter the color. If it sounds nice, has low action and my hand fits around the neck, I'd be happy.

He or she, considering the number of Melissa Etheridge T shirts in the seller's other items, I'd also suspect a stalker. I suppose there's a line between fan and stalker somewhere.

most likely determined by a Court's Restraining Order.
