Location: Nashville | I am considering parting with this custom guitar which is in perfect condition. It was used as a baritone guitar in my session work and is tuned down a step. Ovation case.
The guitar appears identical to the longneck blue Adamas in this Preston Reed youtube video.

If interested, please inquire. |

Location: Nashville | We just took our daughter to college along with the digital cameras...I will get some pics and determine an asking price in the next week or so.
Until then, I will restate that there is not a dent, ding, scratch, etc. anywhere on the instrument. Virtually zero fret wear. Gold Schaller keys are nice and shiny. 24 frets. Triangular shape inlays and a repeat of the design in an applique above the bridge. Bridge and headstock are carved. I took the screw-on circular access plate off the back. This bowl appears to be plastic like most Ovation style guitars I have had.
Battery door is sliding on the top, tuner onboard, 4 eq sliders.
From this site,
http://www.prestonreed.com/gear.html
it appears that Preston Reed's guitar has been modified from a normal custom Adamas longneck. His string gauges certainly work nicely. I just now looked more closely at this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn369TSZ4QY&feature=related
and it does appear that a few of the holes on the topside of the neck of Preston's guitar reflect light....as in being filled in....other than that the guitar appears identical to my longneck.
There is a 1/4" out and an XLR |

I have one of these, and they are KILLAH guitars!!
I used t'bring it to gigs and only used it on one or two songs.
I've since forced myself to re-learn a bunch of tunes to incorporate the Adamas LongNeck, and it REALLY sound cool!!
Whitehead! . . you NEED one of these!! |

Blues.....a longneck ain't a guitar so it don't count!
but it would go nicely along with the twins! |

Location: SoCal | This would be a great guitar to have and I'd love to buy it, but having just painted the house and bought a new sofa, I can't afford it. And I doubt if the seller will let me finance it over several years.
It's tough to be broke...... |

| I've ordered one of these from the factory. My Dream guitars are underway now. Can't stand the wait. These really are quite rare the sad part is they ain't cheap.
Someone in here should be on this. If I had not already taken the plunge for one in RED I'd be all over it.
Good luck |
