Location: Cass County, Texas | Britbits, it might be helpful to a would-be seller to say where you are located, as this is a world wide forum.
You can even put your location in your profile so it is always there.  |

Location: moline,illinois | I don't consider Adamas 12 strings to have had high volumes of production like a balladeer,the 1885 was only made for about 5 years so most people who have one probably don't want to part with theirs,they show up once in awhile on feebay and reverb.
'Didn't you post you were looking for a SSB case for a 1885 you just found??

| Bought one at Sam Ash online
I returned it because it needed extensive repair that wasnt disclosed
So still looking but now open to others since 1885s are old and potentially might also have issues |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Lost Art Vintage has a nice looking Adamas SMT 1597 12-string available right now. You should give Alpep a call before it disappears. |

| BTW
If this guitar shows up on Reverb ( where Sam Ash originally posted it) please be wary. You will want to stay clear of this guitar. |

To bad it was in sad shape,I saw that one but with the scratches on the back and general appereance I thought it looked like it was in worse condition than advertised sorry you had to be the one to get it.
I'd keep my eyes open for an Adamas 1598 MEII its the second generation Melissa Etheridge model so it should have good electronics and be relatively newer I think they made them for quite a few years

| The crazy part of it was that the scratches came off with Magic Eraser
I guess the people at Sam Ash couldn’t be bothered …..

You gotta post pics when you get it.
We all live for guitar porn.

Yeah, that looked like a really cool guitar and probably one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing all about it. |
