Location: Atlanta | Still hoping to see the right price 08 model come through. If anybody has recommendations or is considering selling, please PM me.
PS, until then, I'm really enjoying the 07 and 09 models. |

Location: SoCal | What do you consider the right price? If you're offering $4500 or more, probably several will show up.... |

Location: Atlanta | I think they were about $5k new full price, right? Unfortunately, I can't pay $4500 or more.
1) not enough cash
2) takes a very rare occurrence for me to pay full/near-full price for a used instrument
I've seen them sell here and on ebay in the $2500-3500 range. The market isn't strong enough for one to bring $4500...example: there is a 96 collectors factory second thats been on ebay for months and hasn't brought $600 yet. That's a fantastic guitar. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Considering your splendid collection and what you need to cover the few remaining missing pieces, I wouldn't think cost would be all that much of a concern. Find an excellent example and go for it. If the cost is reasonable or a bargain, all the better, but to me, filling the hole with the right model would be more important. Good luck, and show us a big photo spread when you've got it finished (or even now for that matter). |

Location: Atlanta | Thanks for the kind words, Professor. The problem is that $3k will buy 97, 98, 99, and 01! 
I do want to fill it all out. I've seen a few that would fit (90' natural slim, 98, etc) but I really want the next big hit to go into the 08.
There's a 2010 limited on craigslist for $2kish, but I haven't heard anyone rave the same as they do on the 08. Plus I've never owned an Adamas. Pic coming soon |

What a tremendous collection. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The 2010 is a great guitar, although it and the 2011s aren't officially "Collector's Editions". They are limited editions and are much more rare than possibly any Collector's Edition. The 08 is definitely one of the most unusual collectors because it was an Adamas and I thought at the time that it might be a signal of the end of the line. I got the 2010 because I thought it was the end of the line, but then they did a limited edition in 2011. If you're interested in a 2010, Al had one last I knew and would probably give you a better deal than the one on ebay. |

Nice collection. What's on the other side of the wall? |

What was the 2011?
I was referring to the 1617ALE. Maybe it actually came out in 2012. Anyway, it looks like a great guitar and, since I prefer a center sound hole and deep bowl, I probably would prefer it over the 2010, but the list price was considerably higher and I already had the 2010. |

Wow! If you had a fire, you'd burn to death trying to decide what to run out with.
And no, I'm not selling my 08. |
