My guess: $150...

This might be a weird question, but who goes over to Ebay to do a search for Adamas tops, only to find something and then post it over here? I'm guessing you are not bidding on them...just did a search.......weird.

I think he was doing a search for Adamas Guitars (not tops) and found the tops while looking through the search results. I have no need for the tops, but I do find it pretty interesting, so thanks for sharing the link.

Location: Rocky River, Ohio		Notice the bird's eye on the bottom edge of the epaulets. I preferred the -2 reds like this.

The -2 Re-issues (the few that Al got)didn't have this "period correct" design.

Location: SoCal		As to "bird's eye", I must be missing something...looking at early 1687's, as well as the -8 and -2 reissue.

Location: Rocky River, Ohio		sorry for not explaining.

There were at least 2 different epaulet designs on the 1687's back in the day. The -2 reds had the bird's eye maple pieces of the epaulet puzzle at the lower ends. The reissue red 1687's that Al had for sale didn't have the same design as the late 70's models.

the design i like the best is the 2nd one in on the pic. Maple on the bottom.

Location: SoCal		Gollee dang...on one wall, I have # 50 [-7], 1687 [-7]from 1979, 1687 [-7] from 1981, 47RI [-2], OFC [-8], 1688 [-8], one of my two 1687 [-2] reissues, and a 1687 [-8] reissue.

From what I see, can't match any of the ones on Ernie's board. All I can tell you is that they all look and sound great. As an aside, believe the -7 finish brings out the beauty of the epaulet design and wood.

Stolen from Jerome's great site web page Is this what we are talking about?

Location: Rocky River, Ohio		I took that pic in 1995 during my first visit to the mother ship.

Under neath all the epaulets, the particular model numbers and colors were noted for the specific design. (all hand written). The factory looked a lot different in those days.

Tony, thanks for posting the pics. That's the design I'm talking about!
