Location: Tennessee | I was (lamely) joking about Al's guitar ... I spent some time checking it out at the OFC Jam and was admiring it ... it's the kind of guitar that could likely be found in my hands. It inspired me to think about what I could do with my Viper bass ... didn't mean to offend.
I was raised that asking how much something cost was the height of rudeness, in the same manner that telling someone how much something cost is also rude. I suspected that the $1500 was a typo since Elias is a knowlegable collector, hence my poke at Cliff. There are a number of knowledgable sources who can provide estimates of market value for any rare or vintage guitar. |

I kinda like Al's axe myself. Has a lot of potential for a wide variety of sounds. A great gig guitar if you only have room for ONE. |

| For what it's worth I talked with Elias before I bought either of my Adamas Ovations in Feb.? That Slot head was the first thing I saw in a search of the web for a Blue reverse Ovation? He was asking $15,000 that much is certain Made my purchase of a 1688-7 for $1,800 on Ebay and my purchase for a little more from Al for the 1587-7 seem a little easier to swallow! I wanted to try and throw a set of Nylon strings on that one just to see what it soounded like? But for $15,000 I would not even be able to enjoy it or take it out and leave it on a stand on stage? I would play it but I would always feel nervous about who may be looking at it or something happeneing to it and that headstock snapping when it hit the floor! His price seemed (to even my limited Ovation knowledge) Fair! If it was $2000 or even $3000 I think I would have grabbed it for resale? If I could part with it! NOT! |

Location: Nashville | Forgive me if this is slightly off subject. spider sent me an e mail asking a question about the Adamas baritone 12 and replies--regardless of how they are sent-- are all returned as undeliverable. I am at a loss as to how to communicate as a result. My answer is you are free to bid, only PayPal accepted is cash transfer, no credit card. Apologies to all if this is counter to the forum rules. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I would agree that it is a little rude to ask what someone paid but on the other hand as we follow the market of what these things are worth it is a very natural question to ask. Particularly when we looking at the one model that will set the high water mark. If it was me I would not be offended and would answer but that's just me. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I agree. I don't think it's rude to ask. But it is rude to automatically assume you are entitled to an answer. Look at it this way, you can walk up to a woman and ask her if she's a D-cup. You may get slapped and yelled at ... or she may just tell you go ahead and find out for yourself. Sometimes you gotta take a chance. Dave |

Location: Tokyo | If my Enflish is strange, forgive me. :p Anyway, the price was at the proper.
> I think Elias is very honest and he is a really gentleman. I was happy that
> I could do business with him. the good friend he told means "My friend". I bought it for him, but it was not "a gift". I bought it instead of him. Of course he finished the payment to me. He also own #7- He is A Japanese Big corrector. To own the slot head... It's my dream *like all of you?.
jmc, I can't understand you said "are all returned as undeliverable" You can send anythings over sea with EMS.
As I told it on this board, I can handle your early adamas. If you are willing to left them, let me know. ;) :) |

Location: Nashville | Some communication problems here. The email was undeliverable. It was returned to my computer no matter how it was sent. The address you have here and the one you wrote me from has problems receiving email. I will try to resend. |
