We are looking for pictures for the '07 calendar. One showing a 47 in the Tasmanian enviroment would be neat.
As big a megapixel your camera can take, please. That should be okay Brad. Can you tell me about the calendar. Is it an OFC thing? What's the deadline? I've got a 4 megapix camera if that's okay. |

ConGrats!
Tune that thing to DoubleDrop-D and lemme know what you think . . . . I'm not usually a drop D kinda player, but just for the hell of it I took the bottom E down to D and it sounded great. So I kept going. And going... and going... all the way down to F... This beauty was still driving the top at a decent volume almost an octave lower! Amazing stuff. As a comparison I pulled out my old trusty '49 D-18 and tried the same thing, but the volume went after about Ab and plucking harder just made the string rattle. The Adamas tops shine again! |

In fact I've had the pleasure of playing your guitar when I got mine. A great guitar that's for sure !
....and that's it. Only two #47's brought into the country.
A very exclusive club indeed ! |

Guess what? I don't see someone ever giving up their guitar due to lack of interest. Re-fi, use your credit card, etc...if you can still find one, get it. It is THE guitar.
Didn't think I would appreciate the color, it became my favorite. As an acoustic, great. Need amplification? No pre-amp but it projects in a a cone that seems to be designed for a mike. Care to amplify, could probably put something through the end pin...but why???????? |

Richard - you must be one of the very few that has actually been able to play two 47s side by side! Were they different in any way? How did you choose yours? |

In the end the only thing to seperate them was the serial # so I took #12 because it comes before 14 !
Also to echo the words of Tony C to non #47 RI owners, if there's any way you can pony up the cash to get one of these then do it.
....they really are that good. |
