Hello,

 

I am looking to purchase an Adamas 1687. I prefer the two knob version. Let me know what you have!

 

Thanks,

Steve

Standard Adamas neck...all of my Adamas (incl my pre-production slothead), Ovations, Takamines, and Martins steel string guitars are not wide neck. Note, I said steel strings vs a couple of nylon strings.

A correction, I do have 2007 Martin HD-29VS 12 fret slothead wide neck (1-3/4). VS refers to vintage.
