Location: Portland, OR | This is from a collection this fellow, Woody is his name, inherited from his Dad who was a great guitar lover.
I don't usually post this stuff because I know that most of you are way ahead of me in finding it.
I bought an N768 Nakao from him earlier this year that his Dad had in his collection. Very reasonable and in essentially unused condition. I would be very much surprised if this Adamas looks any different than the day it was made.
If I didn't have one on the way, I'd jump on it.
Thought someone might be interested.

Location: Cincinnati | Great guitar. These sound surprisingly good unplugged too. I bought one last summer. I had it for a week then let a co-worker borrow it. That was the last time I saw it. At least she paid me for it. |

But plugged in WHAT A MONSTER and very very comfortable.
Anyone who plays live should jump on this!

DAMON!!!! You're right, if you're using the wrong strings. My 1587 and 1581 sound huge and fat, but with Elixir Phosphor Bronze Light-Medium .012-.056, my 1881 has a very nice punch to it that it didn't have when I first got it. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Some folks prefer the sound and comfort of a shallow bowl. All depends what you are comparing it to. I do 98% of my playing seated and I could never keep the shallow bowl from slipping off my knee. The deep bowl has more of flat bottom and sits nicely in position. Acoustic sound is a matter of personal opinion. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Super shallow bowls and thin hybrids are pretty much all I use in the band these days, with an occasional go with one of the Taks. For standing up live plugged in, the SSBs just can't be beat IMHO, and the 1881 is just about at the top. |

Location: closely held secret | One negative out of the last 80 sales/12 months is no big deal. It's 98.7 because he doesn't have a lot of sales.
His DSR's are certainly good. |

Location: Portland, OR | Looks like his negative FB was a shipping beef. Shipping on this is pretty straight up. I found him to be very honest, personable and informative. For a 16yr old guitar, my N768 was like brand new except for an applied pickguard. Pics of it are on Jerome's site. I wouldn't worry about the FB rating. |

| Thanks. I'm thinkin' the 1581 may have to go to make room for this one. |
