I've been offered a job in Samoa for 12 weeks.
Tough choice, eh? |

Location: Seattle | The google maps instructions just crack me up.... once you enter Japan the language changes to Japanese.
(Instructions 49-106 until you enter Australia.)
With the added responsibility of learning another language this may take longer than I first thought. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Brad, most of those are full! I know, I looked in quite a few. Can you believe a prototype cutaway Adamas lives in there rather than on display? (along with the shiny bowl I'm holding) |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Muzz, what happens at AJ's stays at AJ's. :)
I walked out with a bluege 12 string Adamas II with a replacement neck - SWMBO went overboard on the shoe shopping and said "You need to buy yourself something special". Andrew walked out with the original neck which he's going to re-fret and fill in the pot holes (photos when I get home). The action's a little high, but we're hopeful the original neck will fix that.
The replacement neck is a 2 piece, non-walnut neck with "Adamas" on the head and a walnut fretboard. Anyone know where that would have come from? I've never seen any like that. The original neck is a standard 5 piece Adamas II neck.
Andrew walked out with more than he could carry - some to fix, some on a 'try before you buy' basis. That black 12 string legend has a popped brace - I'm sure Andrew will report on the surgery.
AJ was a very generous and gracious host. |

C'mon guys. Letting the team down.
Those couple on the 'Downunder' site don't count.
There must be more... |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Andrew had the only camera. SWMBO dropped ours the other day and it's semi-functional, so I didn't bring it. AJ left his at the office. I think most of the photos are already on the Downunder site. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Even though I'm in the middle of the Pacific, I did my best to attend the Brisbane gathering.
I had arranged to Skype the boys on the night and did so when I saw AJ was online.
They could see me but I couldn't see or hear them.
Then I got a typed message from Richard that AJ didn't have a webcam.
I asked why couldn't I hear them - "He hasn't got a microphone either".
237 guitars, but no microphone...
So I used up some of my Skype credit and phoned them.
So, it wasn't an Aussie OFC 'record' (4 at TAFKAR's Brisbane residence) but this one might go down as #2 with 3.5 attendees? |
