| Why has the Adam I am selling got the round plate in the centre near the bottom of the back, and the gold writing at the top, where other 1687's that I have seen have got the round plate to one side with the gold writing on the plate itself?

| No it doesn't that would need two "S", number one Adamas guitars are amazing in tone, looks, and quality, I have always wanted one after seeing Mark Knopfler play his in 1985. And number 2 Sucks if what a vacuum cleaner does, I am not American. |

| Most of the time you have to use all lower case with no spaces, it should read "Adamas UK" I had no idea it would cause a problem and in the UK sucks is NOT a word in use except for sucking something like a lolly. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | cause it's not that old.
the oldest had the door off to the side.
Then it was moved to the middle and the writing moved to the heel.
Then the writing went away.
Now the next question will be when did all this happen(at what serial number)
Answer is I don't remember so people will have to chime in here.
I know 220 has the door to the side. |

| You started signing at 600, right? Mine is after that, with writing at the heel, so somewhere between 220 and 700 or so the hatch and writing moved. |

...AND ALL CAPS LOOKS LIKE YELLING on the internet.
Whereas, AdamasUK would actually communicate efficiently and effectively on this board.
:-p

Location: south east Michigan | By the way Adamasuk... It has been a policy around here that if you sell an item through the OFC that you make donation to help with the upkeep of the board.
It's not like someone is going to come after you if you don't. If you plan on sticking around, it's just the polite thing to do. |

| Hi I made a donation before I could get onto the website to post, I thought I had to make a donation to enable me to post so I did, but it turned out that I had to post in the welcome centre first before I was allowed to post in the rest of the forum.
Incidentally Lolly ="Ice Lolly" is what they would call a popsicle in the USA.

Lolly is also old cockney slang for money = Bread, wedge etc. But I wouldn't want to suck on money, lol. |

| Hi, the Adamas number is 892-96, I was told its a 1979 bought in 1981. The wide neck is normal it gives an option of either size in the Owners guide.
I notice that the reissue is 1-11/16" so different to either original neck! |

| Talking about lollies, we went to Orlando last October to do the Disney/Universal thing, whilst there I became addicted to the ice creams and lollies, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, and frozen fruit lollies real strawberries, and pineapple, I ate about 6 a day for two weeks and spent £300 on coke! I have never been so hot and burnt in my life and it was Autumn not summer! |

| Ha ha, I spent £300 on coke because it was over 80 degrees everyday for two weeks walking for miles around the parks. And the drinks were stupidly expensive! |

| I didn't need re hydrating, I was fully hydrated, it was just boiling hot and I needed cold drinks, I don't know how anyone could live in those temperatures. I don't like water and I drink a lot of diet coke anyway since I gave up the fags, you never get rid of the craving after you've been a 40 a day smoker. |

And what does diet coke have to do with smoking? I smoked for 40 years and hardly ever drink pop. Certainly don't crave it. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Congratulations on giving up the cigarrettes. I just watched a good friend slowly die of lung disease, and my father two years ago the same way. It was a ghastly painful way to go. As far as the heat goes ... That's why I moved to Michigan, but that was apparently the other side of the pendulum, and perhaps a bit TOO cold. A wonderful guitar you have there ... I hope someone here buys it. |
