Location: South of most, North of few | Ever since I traded (kick) my refurbed 1681-8 (kick) to T28, I have been having nightmares. My wife loved that guitar, and she never quit reminding me of that fact also. (kick) Well, thanks to the mercy of Stephen, my begging, (and the cash from the sale of the CA to Povation) the 1681 is coming back home. If I ever sell this one again, someone please KICK ME!

Location: Cicero, NY | Is that color different for some reason? I'm just "ok" with the typical Adamas blue but that one really looks great! The epi's and the neck color really seem to compliment the burst. Glad you got it back. |

Even though Jim beat me up, the sad story of his wife loving the guitar is what finally wore me down.
Anyway, I sent the case out today.
Guitar to follow in a few weeks! |

I'm sure you've asked yourself that...
It's that trading urge. I keep buying and selling guitars, but I'm only selling Celebrity's!
[Not counting the 4861, which was not quite a Celebrity]
I've only played one Adamas, at the PNW Mini-Gathering, and it was blue-ish. I always thought that blue was kinda yucky.
But NOW! If I ever get one, I want a textured top in that Blue Slime color!
Y'know? That color just screams Adamas, and nothing else quite looks like that!
Anyway... I'm happy you got your baby back.
And since the missus likes it, maybe she'll let the other dozen guitar hang around. :cool:
{Speaking of which, anyone wanna buy a '74 1112-1 for a project?} |

Location: South of most, North of few | Yeah, I think she is getting used to seeing all these guitars around. A couple of years ago, she got antsy when I had three! Now I don't think she knows just how many I have but I know she liked the "pretty blue one". Wait,...how many do I have?
And Gary, about that line. I'm sure it's forming just behind you. ;) |

Location: South of most, North of few | Now this is unbelievable. Stephen shipped this out on Sat. 1/12, from Colorado, and it is due to be delivered today in Florida. I'm going to start using USPS priority from now on. I have my wife stationed at the mail box waiting for it now! (think I'm going to take the rest of the day off!) |
