You did real good OMA, textured top Adamii are the way to go. Next you'll need a manly necked Adamas.

And ... black never goes out of fashion

Iffy asked "Ya ever play one?"

When I went to the 'Northwest Mini-Gathering' at gh1's (Greg's) house there was a blue one that I played.
Y'know that really yucky blue that only looks good on an Adamas.
I was dumber then, so I do not know the model.
I said back then... "I gotta get me one of these!"
I kinda wanted to get the yucky Reverse Blue Burst, but I will take what I can get.

Wow OMA, really nice grab…

…I couldn't find the thread, but didn't you recently say that you hadn't paid over $800 for any of your guitars? It's so heartwarming to see someone achieve a personal best… ;)

…and. again, my memory is not dependable, but isn't that your first Adamas?

You're King of the World!!!!

Enjoy It, but PLEASE don't cut holes in that one… ;)

Nice guitar.

You did good.
I'll take a black topped Adamas over any of the bursts.
On the other hand, the absolute LAST color I'd choose for a wood topped guitar would be black.

And Doc.... good to hear from ya.

Nice get, Arthur. Great guitar.

(And when iffy says "Go ahead and take your socks off", that's fine but let's leave everything else on, ok? ;) )

Not for that price. I don't plan on ever selling it. I MAY trade it some day for a red one, though.

OMA, as the WESB\'s would say, you're RURNT now.

I brought my 1581 home and my wife said I needed to think about what to wear with it... like cowgirl boots and a skirt. Had to give her credit for that one.
