Location: south east Michigan | Indeed.... a nice cross section. By themselves they don't stand out but when you set a UTE next to a few others the neck looks just... wrong. You can spend a lot more on a 47 reissue or a 2080 but you won't find a much better example of the Adamas line when you have a UTE. Oh yeah.... I have one.

| Would you mind listing what models and what year they are. (From Left) Also I put up some pictures of my CS257 and I am really curious about the color designation. Would you mind taking a look and giving me some wisdom on this.
Thanks
(You have some real beauties there....(Jealous) |

1-Adamas UTE 681
2-CS 255
3-6868AX
The UTE was a dream guitar for me that I thought I would never get. But sometimes dreams do come true. Of course now I want more guitars.  |

Location: south east Michigan | There's not that many UTEs out there.
It was supposed to be a limited run of 100 units.
I think it ended up at about 115. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Very nice guitars! Multi-hole seem to be my preference as well.
Next we'll work on a few things like:
- using the natural light on and not behind the subject
- Keeping wires out of the shot
- Focusing on focusing.
Other issues that keep coming up:
- Keeping our Toes out of the shot
- dressing before shooting reflective objects
- why the Red Blanklet works so well
- Sarcasm as an Instructional Tool
You gotta love this place! |

| Thanks for the list...nice family of O's. Someday I would love to touch and play a real American made Adamas. I have never seen one anywhere personally, or know of anyone who actually has one. I keep cruising the music stores I know of in the Peoria, Illinois area...and keep hoping that someday I will find one traded in used.
I added this to my bucket list: Experience an Ovation masterpiece an Adamas. (Someday)

Location: Vancouver, WA | Gamr,
I got my Adamas through Craigslist. My dad happens to live close enough to the seller to pick it up for me. I hope you fill that spot on your bucket list soon.
