Location: Westerville, Ohio | I'm knock around the notion of getting rid of my New Adamas 2080. A few months I slipped a rib and it's never been the same. It seems as though every time I play the deep bowl it turns me in such a way that is pretty painful. I've tried sitting in many different positions but none seem to work. I love this guitar and in no way want to get rid of it but I'm going to need something I can play pain free! I thought I'd kick the tires around here first to see if anyone might be intrested. As most of you know these go for over 2K at most internet stores. If I do decide to sell I'm going to ask 1800.00 with case. I've only had it a little over a month. |

Location: Westerville, Ohio | I thought my search was over with the 2080, and it was. I played Adrian Legg's guitar over the weekend and loved the way it felt, high and close to the body. If I decide to sell I haven't a clue what to buy. Might have to go look at electric guitars and throw a bean bag type thing unerneath it to bring it up higher off the leg. |

Not sure about the bean bag thing but, WARNING -- try and electric guitar and you may never look back. It's a rare day i pick up an acoustic these days and i have been know to say, "electic guitar? no thanks." That was before i bought an electric -- now i own three.

Location: Westerville, Ohio | I would hate to sell it on Ebay, I thought about taking it to GC and trade it. Lord knows they need an Adamas in that store!! |

Location: SoCal | Boy, I'd talk to a doctor or physical therapist before selling the guitar (maybe they'd want to buy it?). Have you really given yourself enough time to heal? It would be horrible to sell it only to feel better in 3 months and then not have it.... |

Location: Westerville, Ohio | This has been going on since late November, I rarely had pain playing my mid-depth. Since getting the deep contour bowl I get pain everytime I play. I'm going to the ortho doc next week. I do physical work so trying to heal is a real problem. I could get one made by the guy who made Adrian's but I don't want to wait 1-2 years. They need to make an electric guitar for the sit down player to keep you upright, not hunched over. |
