Hi ALL

The title says it all: I have been dreaming for this guitar for more than 30 years and this morning I finally bought one. Should be here in the next few days. I have never been so excited for another guitar!

Sorry Moody, just saw your question. I bought it new from my favourite shope, it was (and is) intended as a lifetime guitar so I wanted it brand new.

Thank you very much Mark! I'm enjoying this guitar so much that I decided to sell my Gibson J-45, he Adamas is a joy to play.

Congrats, mimmo! You've picked up a stellar guitar and, as Mark said, I hope you enjoy it for a long time as well. Now, the important stuff...we need pics of you with the new git! (Has that not made it into the bylaws yet...?)

Thanks a lot! Yes indeed, it is a stellar guitar, together with my Classic 1613 it is what I really need and way more than I deserve. I will try to post a pic, but I'm not sure I know how to do it.
