I had it sent directly from the seller to the factory for a little TLC. I will bring it to Paul's get together this Sunday. We'll use it in a comparison of the OFC, 47RI, and 1687. It is in wonderful condition and comes with a 9158-0 case for best offer of $1,925 or over. If you want to save a couple of dollars, I have an excellent SKB is you want to save $50. Sale price doesn't include shipping. I will bring it to Paul's get together this Sunday. We'll use it in a comparison of the OFC, 47RI, and 1687. Maybe some of the participants will post as to the condition and playability. Pictures are from the sale BEFORE the factory got it. If interested, let me know. | ||

You suppose they might make all the regulars, then the widenecks? At the tour we did see the three (wide) necks that were already done and waiting for bodies. So anyway you sequence them, I don't think they can be all that far done. But it's art, not science. Dave | ||

Tell him that if he'd set his sights a little lower he could become a paparazzi and make a little more cash on the side! | ||

Joined: February 2004 Posts: 2487 | I'm gonna have to hide the sharp knives for a while. I have a few that are close already but this is the exact guitar (except for the two knob electronics) I wanted to try at a dealer back in 79 he wouldn't even take it down for me because he knew I could not afford it. I did have $900 in my pocket that day. Not enough for one of these Adamas's but enough for a lot of other guitars he had that I did not even ask to have taken down because he was an "Ass' to me earlier. "Prick" I will finally have the same one I wanted to try that day. Took me almost 30 years to do it but I won't need permission to play one anymore. Randy | ||
