Location: Canada | Wow. Very strange that you'd be experiencing the weakness in the B and E strings. Have you ever experienced a comparable problem in another acoustic? Have you ever played another ADII?
I wonder if any other owners can comment. |

Why did you choose the LX? What swung you in that direction? The responses I got from the guys on the board. I'd never played either, wasn't going to without ordering one, so I asked the opinions of those who'd know. Seems to have worked out, and I liked working with Al. |

Location: Chicago | Maybe I just play too hard: In a tune like "Frevo Rasgado" you have to reach pretty high and hit a few notes hard. That'll let you know what a guitar can deliver. The Adamas II 1581-5 has a fine high end acoustically, I just need to learn how to bring it out when plugged in. The AD II does not have this virtue. I guess I gotta consider doing the drive! |

Seriously, call Kim or John and see what they say. And it might just be worth it to make the trip to Brad's...... |

Location: Canada | dobro,
That is really quite strange. Given an A brace, Deep Bowl and basically a CL configuration, I wonder why your ADII would have this problem. The top, bracing, etc., aren't exclusive to this model. Other than the neck treatment (should be a non issue) and boost, what's the difference over a contemporary (non LX) CL? |

Location: chicago | I concur with Dobrov in regarts to a bit of thinness with the AD11,believe me DiMeola is my hero so I bought the guitar site unseen thinking if Al plays it its got to be the BEST!I have tried everything and unlike Dobrov I can EQ a guitar but its NO comparrison to my 96'768-x Elite.

Location: Canada | Wow! Thanks, two ADII evidencing the same problem starts to steer me in a different direction. While your online ;-), can you comment on the difference between the Elite multi sound hole configuration and that of a single sound hole. |
