Location: NJ | Adamas 1 for sale But this is one you probably have NEVER seen before. It was made for the export only market and is an Adamas one with the traditional carved headstock and bridge, a non cutaway in the traditional and oh so desireable blue finish. What is unique is this guitar was made in the past couple of years and has the Opima preamp.
So you get all the looks and quality of a vintage adamas with the advantages of modern electronics. This insrument is in mint/umplayed condition. E mail me if you are interested I can send you a picture later. |

Location: SoCal | Al, I don't have the jack to buy this, but I would (and I suspect most here) be interested in seeing it, so if you have a link to a photo, please post it.
How was the Philly show? |

Location: SoCal | This brings up an interesting question as to value of the Adamas I's. I've got a '93 blue Adamas 12 that I picked up for cost (about $1700) 6 years ago. I've since seen them for sale on ebay and in guitar stores for anywhere from $1500-$2200.
Do these numbers tend to jive with what the rest of you have seen? |

Location: Scotland | It's a little different in the UK with availability & exchange rates but dealers tend to have used Adamas or Adamas 2 at £1000- £1500. I don't think the majority of dealers know the differences between the original & the "2". I saw a 90's blue 2 at a dealer in London a few months ago for £800, I'm still kicking myself for passing. I bought my '78 wide neck Adamas 1 about 6 years ago for £600. |

1500-2000 seems to be the range for Ones. I have a 1687-2 in the 800's but am going to wait till the prices get really high before I let it go. (like maybe $2001!..lol) |

Al, I looked at the pic of the Adamas. Is the fingerboard rosewood or black walnut? |
