Joined: September 2003 Posts: 815 Location: Colorado | Well, if I didn't have my heart set on another special O that I'll get in about a month, I would have probably snagged this. I just don't want a 12 string to be my primary guitar. Enjoy it Samuels!! Edited by Todd G. 2016-12-28 8:29 PM | ||

And I will definitely let you all know how it turns out, I will try and make a video and post a link on here once it's all settled in. It appears to be in mint condition too, I'm just so incredibly happy right now to finally be getting and Adamas 12 string. The only unfortunate thing is that it doesn't have a case, so if anyone knows where I might be able to find one for this kind of Adamas it would be most appreciated!

You only know from the length of the scale. From the photo I cannot tell its scale, but the name DS is quite an indication that it is a longneck. Congrats to the grabber! I would like to see more..... Edited by red-twins 2016-12-30 4:02 PM | ||

How could you tell it is a long-neck? It's already been said but the "DS" on the model number is for long necks,plus the fret markers design is most commonly associated with the longneck,what a monster guitar I hope he posts some sound samples. Congrats on an awesome 12 string. As far as cases go check the scale length but my long neck had a custom case so you'll probably need to find an DS768 case or custom order a case, Edited by 2wheeldrummer 2016-12-30 5:12 PM | ||

Joined: January 2014 Posts: 78 Location: Boise, Idaho | Well I have an unfortunate update. Just opened the the box up and come to find that the girl who initially sold me the guitar lied about the true condition of it. I just got off the phone with the manager and she is very nice and willing to help. The manager actually knew the true condition of the guitar and asked the girl several times that I knew of the damage, which again the girl did not mention. Come to find out the girl was actually let go a couple days after selling me the guitar... So I would really hate to return it, but if the cost to have it repaired is ridiculous then I fear I may have to. I'll submit pictures here in a bit, but any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated... The back of the bowl has a very minor bulge no bigger than a fingerprint. The real issue is the top. It is almost completely separated from the right upper side, all the way up underneath the neck. | ||
