Hello, everyone! This is my very first post as a member of the OFC after being a long time lurker, haha. Nice to meet you all.

I have created this thread because I am looking at this certain 1995 Adamas II 1581-5 that someone has put up on Ebay (link here). Now I need some guidance here since this may be the very first Adamas I pull the trigger on. The seller hasn't put up many photos, but the guitar looks excellent. I think I'll send a message asking for more especially of the electronics section. Any other important photos I should request?

Also, there's the asking price of $2600 (seller is basing the price off a guitar blue book). I am interested in what you all think. Is this a high or reasonable price for this guitar? Would I be able to bring it down a bit?

Help a fellow Ovation brother out

Thanks!

It looks like one of the very few Adamas guitars available in the USA, looks like a seller's market. I saw a completed sale for quite a bit less. But yeah, a new one would cost twice that.

Be sure to ask about action, is the neck straight, and maybe he can check to see if there are shims under the saddle to lower the action if needed.

Good luck
