good luck Similar styles, but I would choose for the OFC-II guitar over the 2080 in a heartbeat. |

Location: Utica, NY | You're welcome. I have seen that and was looking at those as well before settling on my 1680. I do like the more modern appearance of this model, no fret markers, cutaway, aluminum and wood details, etc. But the 1680 is just so loved and revered I had to give it a try first. Should you decide to do this please report back. |

The 2080 may be a fine sounding and playing guitar, but it is fugly. :p
(I guess I don't get the "Batman/Catwoman" motif) |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I tend to think of this guitar as very "masculine;" it's very rugged looking, very spartan. It's not one that I can envision myself owning. I have played a couple, and liked them very much, but it doesn't call to me in that "I've-absolutely-got-to-have-this-one" voice.

| Not something I'd be likely to buy but if I liked how it sounded and played I could live with the look of it. Most of the other Adamas guitars are far too ornate for me. That one is a bit too tech looking IMO but at least it's plain. |

I guess it's easier to realize in person, but I thought it was a brilliant piece of subtle attention to detail. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Love it. Any issue I have with the looks (and I rally wasn't crazy abut it at first) went out the window when I heard it. I'm even less crazy about the OFC II looks but, again, when I heard it in Jersey, I loved it. The 1680 is a completely different animal but no less a top shelf guitar. |

Location: Utah | If I had the money and if I felt I had the time to play it, the 2080 would be my next acoustic. The swoosh is neither good nor ugly, but I do like it better than eppis on that finish.
Al has had a deal out there that is the lowest price you'll see, plus it includes the iDea preamp as an extra. I don't know if the deal is still available, but if you're thinking of a 2080 you know that you have to call Al. |

| I wasn't a fan until I saw and heard one in person. The pictures definitely don't do them justice. Soundwise they're killer. Deep and loud with that distinct Adamas tone.
Of course the one I really fell in love with was Beal's custom longneck with the super-manly neck. That is one incredible guitar. |
