Location: Fort Lee, NJ | Up for sale is a 1996 Adamas I 1688-8 12-String in Blue Burst. In excellent cosmetic and working conditions. No issues and just gone through a factory set-up by Ovation and has super-low action. Asking US$2,500 including FedEx 2nd-Day Air to anywhere in the lower 48 states in the US. For all the other places, please inquire. Again, no issues. I just have to part with it since I acquired another 1688 in my favorite color (brown).

I was feeling quite content with what I have, until you listed this!
Oh well. Good luck on the sale. |

Location: Fort Lee, NJ | Thanks for comments. Yeah, this guitar just growls, especially with medium-gauge strings (Elixir) and tuned a whole step down. I have also experimented various alternate tunings and this one takes down to low C or even B on the low E strings with no problem. It is hard to part with it, but there should be no two guitars in the same 'kind' according to our house rules. |

Location: Fort Lee, NJ | Well, one of my friends in Japan found it in an old music store in Osaka and got it for me (of course I paid him). I can't wait for my next trip to Japan to pick it up. Hence there is no picture yet, sorry. |

Location: Fort Lee, NJ | I added a few more pics of the guitar on my site. I also want to mention that I will ship outside the US provided that a buyer pays the actual shipping and other incidental charges. Thanks! |

You would just need to take payments...
... a lot of them.
Very nice guitar. My three month plan is continue work on one guitar and then sell three to get something in a special 12 string by Christmas. |

I think Noah would like it also, but of course, I promised you first shot at it. |

Of course.
Reality dictates that I pick and choose my incoming guitars prudently. I have vacation and home improvements coming up.
I was hoping to complete the Preacher Deluxe, see what UPS brings Friday and sell them. Considering setting up a full Deacon set of pickups to sell with the Deacon 12 and then consider what flavor to grab. I thought I would be satisfied with an Adamas 12 string like the on being offered and then I saw the pictures of the OFC Tour Engineering Room!
Oh the pain! Make it stop! |

Location: Fort Lee, NJ | OK. Let me get back to business. I think I can be somewhat flexible on pricing. So make me an offer!

Did you get my e-mail? Can you use PayPal? If my offer was unacceptable please let me know, or counter-offer. :)

Got your e-mail and understand the guitar is "on hold" and will "probably" be sold to someone else. If the probable buyer does not come through, I will still be interested. :)
