Location: Barkhamsted CT | 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? |

Harder/more expensive (but better) way: New neck, nut & bridge…
That guitar is worth investing in in a new neck, imo… |

Location: Barkhamsted CT | 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. |
