Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Oh! And I got to play three "One-Off" Adamii...
The Wood-Top, and a Black cutaway... I played a Red cutaway for the Video.
None of them had Manhole Covers!
Adam said that they've learned that they sound better that way.
I also played a TX for a moment to see if it was drastically different from a T.
Since I couldn't do a side-by-side, I cannot give you an opinion on that one.
But it is always fun to play expensive guitars. |

| You can access the innards thru the pre-amp hole by popping out the pre-amp and removing the can. That works just fine for simple things like accessing the jack(s) to tighten/remove them. Of course, if you need to repair the braces or some such you'll need special tools (that they have at the factory). |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I was gonna ask him that... But this is the dude who Punched his Adamas.
(He is also carrying around a Celebrity that they shot 32 times with a 45 caliber pistol)
I wasn't sure that he would relate to me wanting to go under the hood and tinker with stuff.
The stance that they had been taking in the presentation is that Adamii are almost indestructible.
And I just received a two photos from the Roadshow...
This the the Marine with the booming voice, he was gonna grab that Honeyburst Celebrity to play, but I said
"Dude! Use the $2500 Adamas! Always use the expensive guitar when you can."
And here is me with one of them expensive guitars. I was getting ready to play, and they already a Red Adamas plugged-in so I just used that one.
But I came decked-out in the Club Colors...

Actually it is a $5000 custom Adamas, but they were offering them for $2500.

I really wish I could have made to PDX and I wish they could have made it to the Silverdale Ted Brown.
Wishes, fishes, whatever...
As far as access to the innards goes - the ratio of room needed is proportional to the size of your Hamfist and the diameter of your Forearm Calf muscle...
About One point smidge to One... have to check with Mr. Templeman for the exact figures. |

"Needle" at the Portland Roadshow
If I keep playing in front of people long enough I might get good at it. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I took the camera, but forgot to take it out of the backpack. Very nicely done. I really wanted that wood-topped Adamas, but left it for someone else. Good performances by the three, including Damon, performers. I should have, but figured I'd get out of there without embarassing myself preserved for posterity.
Too bad we had stereotypical Seattle weather until today, then flew back into it in Boise.
I think even SWMBO was impressed by the presentation. |
