Location: Louisville, OH 44641		Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Melissa Etheridge (Model 1597 I believe) with the Adamas II 12 string (like the one currently for sale here for $1200)?

Any comments on the tonal quality of the two guitars.

I know the 1597 is very easy to play and sounds great but have always wanted to play an Adamas II (but never had the opportunity).

Location: Upper Left USA		Smooth tops like the 1597 are very, very nice!

Textured Tops are fantastic.

Differences are in how succeptable(sp) they are to the players technique.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		I'm sorry.. IS THERE any comparison?

...Just kidding ... Like wood said... Textured tops are in a league of there own.

1597s are nice intruments also though.

SNAG THE ADAMAS II WHILE YOU STILL CAN! You won't be dissappointed!

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		For comfort and playability with amplification in a gig, nothing beats an SSB in my opinion. If your intent is to play primarily without amplification and size is not an issue, go for the ADII. Either way, I doubt you'd be disappointed. These are excellent guitars.
