Hi all, stupid question. I have an Adamas 1681-8. It appears the case padding left a stain on the top of the guitar. Any idea of what would be safe to clean the top with?

A little 409? Damp cloth with a little water? Nothing abrasive....

Thanks, 409 seemed to do the trick. I was a bit nervous to use anything too strong

Nope, not a cutaway. I've been trying to get down to Ovation to have them swap it to lefty. Not sure how that will be with the neck angle at the body going the wrong way.

Easier/cheaper way: New nut and bridge. (Might be OK if you don't use those high frets anyway…)

Harder/more expensive (but better) way: New neck, nut & bridge…

That guitar is worth investing in in a new neck, imo…

Yeah, I'll have the nut and bridge replaced. Also move the tone and volume controls to the other side of the bowl, fill the old holes and repaint the bowl. I'll ask about the neck replayment. Thats probably getting into big bucks then.

Any idea what these guitars are worth these days? I haven't seen one for sale yet.
