| The dragon (?) applique is nice, but I don't know about that signature. |

| Yeah but the ones that were signed had the string tubes from the factory! Very hard to find these anymore. |

| I should be buying not selling. That has to be a record low price. Very sad to see. |

| OK, this one hurts...
Not only did I forget to bid, but the buyer is the same one who purchased the Adamas I bought from Jason that I never received.
Ouch. |

| I have other pictures from the seller, the guitar was filthy... couple of possible dimples/dings in the top, and looked like separation at the neck heel... but could have just been a ton of dirt.. but for under $900 still a great deal... considering the factory could get it back in shape pretty reasonably.
Glad we were out taking a drive... I was prepared to go to $950... but still doesn't mean the other bidder wasn't bidding higher than that either.
