Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | 1688-8 #9722-87 – Remarkably clean guitar built in 1994 that sings like a choir. No belly, but the top sags a little under the strings (bracing is nice and tight). From what I've seen and read, most of the 12 string Adamas' are like this. Neck is straight and the action is great. Were it not for a hint of wear on the first few frets, you'd mistake it for new. Includes a black Ovation case, but I'm not sure if it's the original. $1500.00 plus shipping (firm). PayPal okay if you add 3%. Selling only to cover some unexpected expenses. Feel free to ask questions.
Thanks for looking,
Nick

Location: SoCal | You're gonna regret selling this so cheaply. Somebody's going to get a great deal.
I've got one of these built 5 instruments before this one. Identical except for walnut tuner buttons and gold strap buttons. Best 12 out there.
I wouldn't sell mine for twice the price.
Good luck with the sale..... |

This is a bargain. |

This is a bargain. Moody/TAFKAR,
I agree. I really thought this wouldn't last an hour at this price.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Todd, this would sound really good through that Genz Jr. If it becomes yours, you'll have to bring it down some evening and we'll sit around the courtyard fireplace. We'll get Stephen to bring over his twin baritones before he moves out of state, and maybe Mark will stop by with his original slothead No. 43. I think I can fill in the rest of the holes. |

This one may be slipping through my fingers. The first person in line passed on my 1881--bought too many guitars over the past year.
Nick, don't wait on me. Sell this if you can. I'll contact #2 person in line and see what I can come up with. |
