Location: Maui | I've been lurking around here for a few months now and have decided to finally post.
My name is Clarke and I am a music teacher in Maui. I first ventured into the ovation world 5 years ago when I got an Elite Special. Prior to this I was a Takamine devotee.
About a year ago, I purchased my first Adamas - a cobalt blue W597. The tone is amazing in the mid and deep sound and the action is flawless.
I'm now looking for a 12 string Deep bowl Adamas I or II.
I look forward to meeting you guys and contributing in the months to come. I've already spoken to Lanaki over the phone and he's been great! Anyone else from Hawaii?
Aloha,
Clarke |

Aloha,
Clarke Check the For Sale Section. I believe Tupperware has one for sale.
If he still has it you can be sure the condition will be like new and the price will be fair. |

Still, as I listen to the surf rolling in about 300 metres away (350 yds) I can't help but feel a little edgy |
