Hi girls and boys,

after having missed every reasonable 1681-9 on the bay for five years now (and hey, they do not show up that often) I'll try my luck here:

I am looking for a pristine Adamas 1681-9, no matter what electronics. Do not care about a ohsc. Whatever it brings it save to my house is okay.

What do I have to offer? Well, there are some guitars I would let go for it, for example a C06, a C87, a C94, a 1869-1, a 6759-5, a C778-BCC LX, a 1547 as well as a Takamine TF450SMSB - whatever. Most of the guitars could be seen in my signature. Some of them are nearly unplayed, some of them have some wear/dings or dongs.

As far as my guitars you are interested in are worthy less - I'll throw two in the package!

Since overseas shipping and customs are hardly to pay, this offer might only be interesting for european members, but, hey, who knows?

I am happy to hear from you, best regards,
Kurt

Strange, I'm sure I already post something... Okay, again:

I got it and it's great! It was too late to take pics, so this will have to wait til tomorrow. But it's cleaned and restrung - and sounds wonderful.

And since -7 is my all time favorite Adamas color, the brown on the Adamas II's is the most harmonious color scheme. Just beautiful!

Best regards - kudos to Hector again,
Kurt

That could very well be the most beautiful Adamas ever (I too like my -7 best). What a fantastic find. I want that guitar.
