Location: Phoenix AZ | I sold my Adamas II and shipped it to Japan 3 days ago. I miss it already and probably made a big mistake selling it. But what better way to get over a broken heart...

Location: Tennessee | I was tracking that one just because it was interesting ... Adamas logo on 5-piece 12 string neck. I like the sunburst, too. Let us know how the maple top sounds, especially with the shallow bowl. Heck, maybe you can even answer the question about plugged-in sound regardless of top or body. ;) |

Location: SoCal | You're right in that it's an Adamas II neck. I've seen those before, but they're rare. Don't know if it was special ordered like that of if it was a factory mistake. Probahly special ordered. |

Location: Tennessee | What's the difference between an Adamas II neck and an Ovation 5-piece neck (like one on a Legend or Elite)? Aside from the logo, of course. |

This looks like a really nice panelmaster. Probably sounds really good too. You better get it. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think the difference in the peghead, other than the logo, is the Adamas II has a 3 ply facing and one of the plys is black. Plus the fingerboad is walnut. I didn't have a shallow bowl or an elite or a cutaway 12-string or a sunburst finish guitar, so this will satisfy a few "needs". At least temporarily. I'll let you know about the sound. I'm not expecting much compared to my deep non-cutaway Adamas II 12-string, which is a real boomer, but we'll see. Probably for a gigging guitar (I think my last gig was '74 in the school gym), this should be pretty nice. |

Location: RI. That small State out East | I was all over this and watched it till the end.
The XLR hook up and the looks had me... I had a top $# in mind and I knew who I was up against.
I'm glad you got. My GAS has kicked in again...
It found a good home.

Location: Tennessee | Thanks about the info on the neck difference. I learn something new every day on the site! I didn't notice the black ply ... looks really nice and it's also the way the headstock on the 1537 is. I thought the fretboard on this was was rosewood from the look in the pics, but then again I'm somewhat botanically challenged. It also looks like it's a floating fretboard? No matter, that's one nice guitar! |
