 | Nice!  That collection is a great cross section of the O/A spectrum. |

 |     Indeed.... a nice cross section. By themselves they don't stand out but when you set a UTE next to a few others the neck looks just... wrong. You can spend a lot more on a 47 reissue or a 2080 but you won't find a much better example of the Adamas line when you have a UTE. Oh yeah.... I have one.

 | Would you mind listing what models and what year they are. (From Left) Also I put up some pictures of my CS257 and I am really curious about the color designation.  Would you mind taking a look and giving me some wisdom on this. Thanks
 
 (You have some real beauties there....(Jealous)

 | Left to right... 1-Adamas UTE 681
 2-CS 255
 3-6868AX
 
 The UTE was a dream guitar for me that I thought I would never get.  But sometimes dreams do come true.  Of course now I want more guitars.

 | There's not that many UTEs out there. It was supposed to be a limited run of 100 units.
 I think it ended up at about 115.

 | Very nice guitars! Multi-hole seem to be my preference as well. 
 Next we'll work on a few things like:
 - using the natural light on and not behind the subject
 - Keeping wires out of the shot
 - Focusing on focusing.
 
 Other issues that keep coming up:
 - Keeping our Toes out of the shot
 - dressing before shooting reflective objects
 - why the Red Blanklet works so well
 - Sarcasm as an Instructional Tool
 
 You gotta love this place!

 | Thanks for the tips Woody.  Next time I will use my real camera instead of my iPhone.  And sarcasm, when used right, can be our best friend. |

 | Thanks for the list...nice family of O's.  Someday I would love to touch and play a real American made Adamas. I have never seen one anywhere personally, or know of anyone who actually has one.  I keep cruising the music stores I know of in the Peoria, Illinois area...and keep hoping that someday I will find one traded in used. 
 I added this to my bucket list: Experience an Ovation masterpiece an Adamas. (Someday)

 | Gamr, I got my Adamas through Craigslist.  My dad happens to live close enough to the seller to pick it up for me.  I hope you fill that spot on your bucket list soon.
