Location: Colorado | That's an Adamas II 1885, the 12-string match to my 1881 6-string. Looks like it's in great shape and the reserve looks pretty low.

| I buy minor items from ebay and I have never had a bad experience in over 100 exchanges. However, I would NEVER buy from somebody with no feedback. I only buy from people with an established record. Just a thought. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | After trying a similar 12 at Al's, I've been wanting one like this. I wrote the seller to ask some questions, but have yet to hear. Ebay is a great way to spend dream dollars on guitars...
I can't tell what the bowl size is.
I may just have to wait to hear about these "new" developments on the new O's before I buy another guitar...Al ya got me wonderin...
Have a great weekend.

Location: Colorado | Johnny--
I bought my 1881 6-string just a few weeks ago--from a new Ebay member with zero feedback nonetheless. Do your homework and ask lots of questions, which it sounds like you have.
Although it's a shallow bowl, it still projects pretty well unplugged--tons better than the Celebrity Deluxe I had 10 years ago. I haven't had the pleasure of plugging it in yet, but I look forward to it.
However, my next Adamas will be a deep bowl since I don't plug in much. Unplugged, the bottom end is somewhat "thin" in the s/s bowl. Even plugged in it is difficult to keep up with the deep bowl. But I got a good deal and couldn't pass it up. I'm just thrilled to finally have a guitar after not having one for 10 years.
Best of luck in your decision.
