Probably would have been snatched up instantly at that price a year ago. |

Hey! I'm a crappy guitarist and I play all the time.

It's on my ebay watch list but that's probably as far as I will go.....got that darn Borges on order that will be ready in about 4 months. |

What is that light blue stuff by the binding?
 
And it looks like the whole side was cut out, or something. :eek: I ain't buying it so I don't care.

Location: So. Cal. | Something about these wide necks...
I bought this a few year back; funny story, Al and I called the seller around the same time (not knowing about it from each other); seller called me late one night and I was too tired to negotiate and just bought it for a ridiculously low price.
This has got to be the "sweetest" sounding Adamas I have (comparing with old, new and slotheads).
