Location: Charlotte, NC | I have been looking around here for a while and haven't really contributed here before. The OFC special deal 1581 came in today and this bad boy is something special. Everything everyone has said and I believe a little bit more! If I can figure out the picture thing I'll put few up.
Thanks Mr. Pep!! |

All custom shop from this point onward. So that is the end of the Kaki King model, too? That's really too bad for many, many reasons… |

as for kaki I have no idea |

Location: Charlotte, NC | Here's a few I snapped over the weekend, not too pretty but you get the idea. This is a very impressive piece of work. Action is a little high so I'll be pulling the shims, other than that, she's a beauty!

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Well I won't be posting pictures unless someone comes in with a camera, but I just got it and it's B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Great sound, nice low action, sounds great plugged in to my Trace Elliot (thanks Prof BB), and believe it or not, this is the first Adamas I've played with the epi and 1/2. I LIKE! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Just got my 1581 (and the gift certificate). WOW.
Not sure how many are left but this is one nice sounding and playing guitar. Outstanding in every regard.
- Deep non contour bowl
- FET 2 knobber
- walnut board
- schaller tuners
- 5 piece gloss finished neck
- 1.5 epaulets
- original cutaway adamas top
- factory setup is absolutely perfect
What's not to like ??? |

I am sure these are every bit as good.
If it came in red I would have already snagged one but since I already have 3 black Adamaii it makes it a bit easier to pass. |

Oh, and these cost a hell of a lot less !!! |
