AJ Might be. I don't play the Adamas very often, though, as the floating part of the fretboard is touching the top ever so slightly and it buzzes. Drives me crazy. Kim said they could fix it, but I think it involved gluing it down to the top. Not sure how that would affect the sound of the guitar. Then there's the divots in the cowboy chord area... :\ |

Try sliding a small piece of cardboard, like a business card between the fretboard and the top, that should stop the buzzing!!

AJ Get out! Really? I'm going to try that when I get home tonight. If it works, I promise I'll change the strings. ;) |
