It's the ultra rare "Celebrity Deluxe Adamas" model and the starting bid is only $100!

ADAMAS is sometimes used as a generic term when referring to guitars with multiple small sound holes, gay fig-leaf epaulets and plastic backs.

Interesting - learned something new today.

So was that convention started by the legitimate "guitar industry", or just the misinformed public?

Is it like calling all tissues "kleenex"?

Celebrity and Adamas don't even belong in the same sentence together.
One extreme to the other.

I just sold a nice one of them...

But next time I sell one, I will be sure to throw the word Adamas into the listing.

Just think of it as "creative marketing"

... or "fraud". What if some poor sucker who doesn't know model numbers actually bid on the basis it was an Adamas?

I would hope that anyone spending money on ANY guitar would do at least SOME homework before pushing the button. I am tempted to email the guy and ask if the word ADAMAS is written ANYWHERE on this guitar. The seller may just be ignorant himself.
