What's up with all the A2's on the bay all of a sudden...have there always been that many, or is this just a recent thing? |

After the new of the 30th Anniversary wears off, I'll probably be looking for an Adamas just like this, so there won't be any available. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Jim, I married a planner, so I don't have to be one. Besides, one of the reasons I can't buy the Adamas II right now is that I just got my 30th Anniversary present and it's not until next August. I thought about getting the Adamas you bought and hoping that a 30th CL would still be available next year, but I was too impatient. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Trawler, Why would you bid $1.60 on this guitar? Do you really think there is any chance in hell you'd win it for under 2 bucks? Sorry, shouldn't question your motives. Anyway it's a nice guitar. Hope some one here gets it for a good price. Dave |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | You guys be careful. This $711 one one appears to have some nasty neck damage near the nut. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK. One of the other blue Adamas IIs looks to have damage on the upper side at the bowl-top binding. I know there seems to be a run on blue Adamas guitars right now, but don't be too hasty either. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks Vince. I really don't see the damage you are talking about, but I'm starting to get wary, with this guy "garonemartin" bidding on this one again with 0 feedback. I thought the action was just a simple trussrod adjustment. I'm going to copy the pic and enlarge it... |

PLUS, the guy wants to ship it MEDIA MAIL! |
