Hello up there in Big Bear. The 1537 models are some of our very favorites, and I assume the L/H means it is a left-handed model, which is likely very rare. By the way, my kids went to High School at Rim and lived in Lake Arrowhead. Great area.

Moody or Beal might know more on this one.
Also, black sunburst is unusual.

HD, there's a ton of information in the archives on these guitars if you'll do a search. Welcome to the group. Most of us love 1537's. I've had mine for 15 years now....

1st I've heard of a Left Handed version (if that's what L/H means).

Dave, just to clarify, this is not an Adamas, it is an Elite 1537. It is built in the Adamas style, but thats as close as it gets. Does it look like this?
