Location: Brighty in Blighty | Gorgeous! Hope these go to an OFCer. Me I'm bidding on the first one but don't think I'll hit the reserve. Call me weird but I like super shallow bowls!

Location: Brighty in Blighty | First one didn't meet the reserve! I think both these sellers are expecting far too much for these guitars, I mean you can get a 07C for £400! |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I swear Dweezil, of all the OFCer's, you have guitar preferences that are the most like mine. Every time I'm stalking an instrument, somehow you step between my target and my crosshairs. 
On the other hand, if I ever buy something and decide to move it along, you're one of the first folks I PM.  |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | So you were bidding on the walnut yeah? I still maintain that the seller was expecting too much for it, wants $999, its a buyers market for 2nd hand Ovations methinks. It's a lovely guitar but being in mind what you can buy for that amount of money I think it's overpriced (or perhaps everything else is underpriced).
It wasn't an ebony fingerboard but I was happy to make an exception but yes are tastes are eeriely similar.
So when you get one of these and want to move it let me know.
Happy hunting and let's not get caught in the crossfire :) |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I love my Jewel, who is super-shallow. I'd love to find a "beater" s/s that I wouldn't mind hauling around and not worrying about. Yes, I know all the times about them that people feel are detrimental--but she is a great little git in her own right, and plugged in she's right up there with her "big" sisters.
I've been away and didn't see those two--lucky for you! ;)

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I'm a real fan of super shallow bowls. Because I'm always plugged in, whatever disadvantage there might be in tone, if any, compared to a deep bowl is immediately overcome by the superb comfort of a shallow bowl. These walnut top models are real beauties. |

Why would anyone buy a black guitar when you could buy a walnut one. Me I don't like walnuts so it seems reasonsable to me to chop down the walnet tress and put them to better use :) |

They look nice and if they look nice I play 'em and make 'em sound nice.
It's not MDF with a walnut top right ;)
Wish me luck - 2 days to go. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | I'll make it sound good, I'm playing/recording solo fingerstyle so a different voice will lend itself well to the various styles/tunes I play, will inspire something positive.
And as I say if it looks nice I'm more inspired to pick it up and play. That cannot be a bad thing. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Technically, all Adamii are panels, so we should remember that a non-solid top can produce great tone. Actually, I suspect it is the SSB that makes these sound a bit weak acoustically (according to those who've heard them). However, they are beee-uutiful to look at. Trouble with beautiful guitars is that you can't appreciate that while playing them. |
