Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | These are nice guitars...however, my OFC 2 has erased any pangs I might have had from selling mine several years ago. It has become, along with my Book 12, my gigging guitar. And the audiences love both the looks and the sound. The '08C is one of the most beautiful Adamas guitars I have seen. Bottom line: whoever gets this will love it and it will not disappoint. Best wishes Vince for your sale. |

Location: Orange County, California | So We're riding in the van from the Hotel to the factory one year... Rick Hall is driving and I got shotgun. Rick asks me "what do you think we should do for a collectors model?" Everyone in the van says "An Adamas". The 47 slothead was out of the bag already. I said: slothead (doesn't have to be carved), 1 3/4" nut, -5 finish, modern electronics (we'd already seen a couple of two knobber reissues), and I didn't care if it was 12 or 14 fret. There are witnesses to the conversation. The 08 collector's is my "dream guitar" |

Location: SoCal | I'm not a fan of black guitars with gold trim and I'm not a fan of the contour bowl.
And yet, I suspect that this guitar is worth every penny being asked for it. Everybody I know (and I mean w/o exception, everybody) who has one or has played one has raved about it.
Whoever gets this one is going to be a very happy camper...... |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I just dropped the price on Ebay to $3,000, but will let it go here for $2,800 plus shipping. Recieved an early morning call from my daughter, stating that her overseas-deployed husband (USMC Cobra Helo Pilot) had an accident resulting in serious spinal cord injuries. He was due to return this week, and has a 1 -yr old, and a newborn he hasn't even held yet. Looks like the Marines are going to discharge him and hand him off to the VA. They have to find a spinal cord facility here in the states to send him to. Anyway... I had to fly my wife to be with my daughter, as they try and figure out what they will do with the rest of their lives. Looks like a lot of airline tickets in the near future. |

Location: Tennessee | Keep the faith Vince. The military has some of the best trauma and rehabilitation docs on the planet. Not sure where the best facility for that is, but I'll ask my daughter. What I do know is the Corps, the VA, and the people at places like Wounded Warrior will be there for you and your family ... along with a lot of us who are grateful for those who have sacrificed so much. Let us know how we can support the cause. And never forget that miracles happen. |
