I didn't play it(wasn't interested in it...that particular one has "issues"...a dent in the top and some scratches), but I have before when I was there in November. It doesn't sound bad, but it isn't as good as the epulet hole Adamas guitars. In fact, I don't believe it is as good as the Legend I bought Saturday. The particular one there is going to be a tough sell. I agree with Paul T., it is a bit of a throwback. It seems like the answer to a question that no one asked.

Joined: February 2004 Posts: 2487 | Hey I can play my Adamas behind my neck! But it doesn't look as good that way! Center Sound Hole Adamas........ Interesting idea... Seems like the top would be stronger using the Carbon Fiber top and just the thing for the Big Hole purists? Personally I have never been one for the flashy painted guitars of any kind? But then I saw an Ovation for the first time with the sound holes strangely placed all over the top.... it hurt my senses....... I looked away.... steped closer....Then I got over it and wanted one in any color they had right away! Hey there's a good Question? I'll ask it in another post! | ||
