Joined: March 2006 Posts: 1634 Location: Chehalis, Washington | Finally got around to posting pics of these guys. 1987 Adamas II 1581, black with gold flake, absolute dead mint...seriously looks like it was never played. Single epi, OP24 electronics, absolute tone monster. Asking $1300 shipped & Paypal'ed. Custom-ordered 2006 C759LX-FKOA Custom Legend 12-string. This is a killer 12-string, with master-grade figured Koa top, carved bridge, abalone inlays, contour bowl, ProStudio electronics w/XLR, gold hardware...the works! Asking $2250 shipped & Paypal'ed. International shipping available. Ask Woody if you need a review on this one - it is an incredible sounding and looking 12-string. | ||

Joined: March 2006 Posts: 1634 Location: Chehalis, Washington | I've thought about it. Personally, an awesome Christmas self-present to me would be this Koa 12'er and one of the Koalas that Al had done...which I think he still has a couple of by the way... ;) Someone should keep this beauty in the family. I'd rather not go into hock to pay off my custom in January, even though I hate to give up my baby here. | ||

I'm also cutting it fine with SWMBO, who's showing the initial stages of "enough is enough." It'd be a shame to have such a beautiful instrument smashed over my head. (I'll let you all decide which is the most shameful part, smashing my head or smashing the guitar.) :rolleyes: | ||
