Location: NJ | I finally got all the details worked out to offer the second OFC guitar.
It will be based on the 2080 and will be a tone MONSTER. When I was up at the factory a couple of weeks ago I was told about a few bodies and necks that were built but never assembled. I was intrigued. I asked some questions, made some calls and struck a deal to offer you this limited edition guitar.
Adamas 2080
-hand laid Fiberglass contour bowl
-Black binding
-Black textured bowl
-Blackburst finish
-Black gloss maple neck
1 11/16"
set neck similar to 08 collector's
-Ebony fingerboard
-OP-PRO preamp w/ db boost button (henceforth known as the alpep boost) this has never been done in any other guitar than the Al D model
xlr and 1/4" outputs
-Open back Sperzel tuners brushed nickel
-9158-0 case
black nut
black saddle
numbered 1/1-1/8
certificates for custom order
laser vibrometer chart
special labels signed by CWK and myself
Certificates signed by CWK and myself
These are limited to 8 guitars. 1/8 I am reserving for myself.
The price on this guitar is very reasonable. The list is around $5000
I see this guitar as a modern version of the Adamas for those that are into the look and who like the option of the db switch for lead playing.
If you want to mate it with a koa that has the same number I will offer a free idea preamp with the purchase.
Interested?
e me to reserve yours. |

12 or 14 frets to the body?

| Sounds like a winner. What effect (other than cosmetic) will a maple neck have? |

Location: NJ | I think it has the 2080 12th fret inlay.
the maple neck has a different feel than the mahagony. It may add some brightness to the guitar but that is yet to be determined.
If you played an elite T you will get the idea. |

| The skinny neck is the escape clause for me - I can tell myself I don't want one (when I really do). |

My agreement with KMC is that I cannot post prices that aren't map. since this is a custom order I am really not sure how that applies but If you e me I would be happy to send you a price. it is rather reasonable! |

Cliff maybe you can post a copy of the label and certificate.
I have also requested laser vibrometer readings for each guitar.
This may be your last chance at a cool fan club guitar that is really special!!!!! |
