Location: Brighty in Blighty | Actually the reserve is £2000, that's about $2800 then add on the shipping from Ireland!
The guys living in a dream world, you can buy a Adamas I AND Adamas II for that price - ho, ho, ho! |

Optimistic even during good times. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I've seen them go for as much as $1,400. I think I paid about $1,000 for mine, possibly a bit more. I submitted what I thought was a lowball offer on eBay amd the seller accepted it. Looking back on how much I've enjoyed this model, and if I had to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. But at $2,000, I'd call Al and order a custom, possibly with a wide neck and slothead config. |

And as others have pointed out the Adamas black isn't really black. :p
As I said in another post Adrian Legg had a black SSB Adamas (albeit a custom one with an ebony fretboard etc) so just had to try one. Sad I know. |
