| Adamas.....is it A-dom-mus ( like upon us) or A(long A like apple)-duh-mus (like fuss) ? Went to get Adamas strings today. Sales guy corrected my pronunciation. Now I wonder if I have been pronouncing this guitar wrong for about 20 years without being corrected even once before today. |

| I am ashamed to say how I was pronouncing it. It was not correct. I guess that is what I get for asking a Texan guitar center sales guy about that Pretty Blue guitar like Nancy Wilsons on the top row. I went in there at least 4 differnt times to play it and talked to at least 3 diffrerent salesmen. They all pronounced it the same way. I love and miss my home town of Dallas, but sometimes I wonder why. |

Location: Converse, Texas | P2PH: Not ALL of us Texans mispronounce uh-DOM-us guitars. I heard a guy in North Cartolina pronounce it "ADD-uh-muss..."
I think we need to send Paul Wag there to correct them... |
