and just for the record, I do own several of the broccoli headstocks....but once I got the strong desire to own the first one out of the way, it really didn't remain an issue one way or the other for any other Adamii I have since owned. |

| If you not going to go for a collectors from Al, I have an Adamas 1 in the blue with the cutaway body I am still thinking of selling.
These are not easy to find anymore, the cutaway 1's just don't come around much at auction or on a dealers rack.

Dave, Obviously the '48 is the most valuable...and it's right where I can grab it quickly after the wife and kids are safe...But the key here folks is to insure your collection: and that takes getting them appraised (this can be a like item value comparison, or a receipt from a purchase,etc.) and of course Pictures, Pictures, Pictures! Save these in an off site place. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I love my wife dearly, but in the grand scheme of things I could find a new wife a whole lot easier than I could find a mint '48 Martin D28.
