Location: Phoenix AZ | Randy, I have no good answer. You could read lots of techno babble in the vault about this. But it's just a sum of the parts, how they are made, how they are put together, and some certain mojo thrown in on top. It just WORKS.

I've got a friend Lou who is very accomplished and I love to "jam" with him because I just sit around and listen to how my guitars are really supposed to sound.

| Northcountry is letting this one go guy's. I have a feeling Spider may end up with it. I have only bid $50 more than it is at now. And it will certainly go higher than that. If not, I will be very happy as well as amazed!
Nice guitar. But that second custom legend did not sell and I am into a new Double Neck and a Helicon Voice Live unit this month so I can swing it but I am over my limit if you see my point.
Note; I have a double neck Epiphone in the red mohagany identical to Jimmy Page's Gibson but not the name that gives it the $2,500 value. (This is for sale as well, Cheap! $500)
Anyway go for it guy's! Nice Adamas and I certainly would like to see this stay in the family. Bill, the seller is interested in this group and I think will make a fantastic member as a Pro musician himself.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I still hope you get it, Randy. I will have contributed in a small way. It's just a shame that we don't have unlimited guitar budgets, so buying one CL from you was the best I could do. |

| We have obscene Guitar budgets Mark but yeah they have limits. Good thing is... it is an investment. Musical instruments seem to hold a good value when you buy them at a fair price and slightly used. New instruments can be a great investment as well but it is very long term for them to become valuable. I have a great 1769 custom legend deep bowl I paid $1k for and I should get my $1K back out of it and so will the next guy as long as it is kept well. That is why I am not real concerned about tying up so much cash in instruments. I should not loose any money.... and these things give me so much pleasure and life drive I just can't imagine ever making a bad buy. It all evens out in the end and sometimes ya actually come out on top a little.
By the way has anyone noticed how many people have looked at the Adamas I am bidding. I do not remember seeing an auction with over 2200 views!

Location: Boise, Idaho | Unfortunately, my budget is not huge and is basically limited to what my wife figures she spends on herself. She's been pretty frugal lately, so I don't have much leverage. It's tough to argue that we don't need new carpet because I bought 10 guitars this year. |

Location: Alberta, Canada | Trigger finger is ooooh so itchy, but, just can't justify at this time. Have yet to get my 1112 back from the mothership, so to jump now is premature. I'm just nervous I'll not be satisfied with the sound with the new top.
Somebody put my fears to rest, please.

From your post I assume you decided to give the Voiceworks Live a try. Do you have it yet? |

| I know it Mark, semi sad about it too, This guitar is great! but I have a line on another I'd rather have that has the color set up I want and the dual sound hole pattern I am more accustomed to and in a cutaway. I'd say this one went about $300.00 under the money myself, even with the repair spot.
Stephen: Yes, I took the plunge, but no, I do not have it yet. I am sure this thing will keep me up nights trying to figure it out. I actually bought two units. I bought an Antares unit as well. I am not sure if I will need the harmonies so much. But thepitch correction will work great for us. I have so many harmonies to hit this will help keep me "ON" I hope.
I will let you guy's know what I think of them, if your interested?
May take me a while, I hate learning how to set these things. I am a true Dinosaur with electronics.

| That is my dirty little plan. Just moving a little slower than I usually do. This has been a busy and expensive music equipment month. Mike has me on the top of the list and with his continued generous patience. I should be able to make a move soon for him.
