Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | OK, just got a hold of the seller as he was walking in to ship it. He's gonna wait for further instructions.
So here's the story, he says he bought it new at 'XYZ123' Music Store in Jan '82 and no longer has his receipt. He offered to contact the store to see if they have a record of the sale.
If so, could he send it to the MS for warranty repair? |

I'm not trying to get out of further costs. Just that if this would be legit, then why not?
Ergo, my inquiries. |

Location: SoCal | Hey Iffers, don't sweat it. I'm not trying to call you on something or accuse you of something. If it had issues that should be covered, then it should be covered. But almost everything I saw in the pictures seems to be normal wear and tear.
And if you remember from the description, the seller commented on the neck pulling away from the body. If he's talking about the heel of the guitar, then perhaps that should be covered. If he's talking about the fretboard over the top, well, we all know better on that one..... |

That didn't cross my mind. Your point is valid and I hadn't look at the warranty situation in that light.
This is my first true opportunity to utilize the wizards at the MS and don't want to mess up.
That said, what is the best protocol for sending the Adamas to the MS for evaluation; email, phone, ship to addy, etc.?
TIA |

Seriously, give them a call, either Kim or John. They can supply you with a return number and address. When they get it they can advise you on what needs to be done..... |

Congrats also on the grab! I'm so glad you got it before I became tempted to bid on it. My wife would have cut off mnards. The MS would have been my move on that also. Too bad all of us with the good advice can't just take up a collection to get it done for you also (:
Good Luck and Happy Trails! |

Location: South of most, North of few | Boy, today was a banner day for phone calls. Ronnie called me, (as usual) Johnny called me to make sure I wasn't mad at him for buying it, and Music Mike called me, (I think by mistake thinking it was Johnny) just to chat. I'm glad someone got it who will rescue it. I was thinking about it, but regained my senses before I hit the button. That will make a great (and rare) guitar for Johnny. Congrats Iffy!! |

Course as former Coloradans, you and the misses would have to drive it over to me and stay a few days! |

...stay a few days! This will be my 6th 'manly' if 1 3/4" counts. The Classic (2") can be a stretch though.
Would love to drop in on ya'll if we make it to Alison's next year. Patty and I would have to swing by 740 Iola, Aurora to check out our first home ('69)... |

Congrats on pulling off a great deal! Hard to believe this will be your first dealings with the Mothership though. Have you always done your own work in the past?
If you need to raise funds for the spa treatment, I'd be glad to take that eclipse you got off Chris last week off your hands... |
