Location: Phoenix AZ | Question - is there any reason an Adamas I and an Adamas II of the same vintage and style (i.e. deep bowl non cutaway) should sound any different unplugged? Dave |

All that said, it is splitting hairs, sometimes under a microscope. |

Location: Scotland | Yep, it's never predictable, even with synthetic materials. Among the guitars in Michael Wong's (PlayAdamas) collection is an Adamas 2. It's one of the best guitars I've ever heard. We had it side by side with several of his Adamas 1's and a bunch of very tasty collectors editions. They were all great sounding guitars, but it was that Adamas 2 we went back to every time. |
