Up for sale is a 1996 Adamas I 1688-8 12-String in Blue Burst. In excellent cosmetic and working conditions. No issues and just gone through a factory set-up by Ovation and has super-low action. Asking US$2,500 including FedEx 2nd-Day Air to anywhere in the lower 48 states in the US. For all the other places, please inquire. Again, no issues. I just have to part with it since I acquired another 1688 in my favorite color (brown).

Gorgeous. Wish I had the ca$h. Just spent my guitar 'budget' 2 weeks ago.

I was feeling quite content with what I have, until you listed this!

Oh well. Good luck on the sale.

Thanks for comments. Yeah, this guitar just growls, especially with medium-gauge strings (Elixir) and tuned a whole step down. I have also experimented various alternate tunings and this one takes down to low C or even B on the low E strings with no problem. It is hard to part with it, but there should be no two guitars in the same 'kind' according to our house rules.

You don't see many brown ones. Where are the pics and how did you score it?

Well, one of my friends in Japan found it in an old music store in Osaka and got it for me (of course I paid him). I can't wait for my next trip to Japan to pick it up. Hence there is no picture yet, sorry.

I added a few more pics of the guitar on my site. I also want to mention that I will ship outside the US provided that a buyer pays the actual shipping and other incidental charges. Thanks!

It is what I want.

You would just need to take payments...

... a lot of them.

Very nice guitar. My three month plan is continue work on one guitar and then sell three to get something in a special 12 string by Christmas.

Woody, does this mean you no longer want the walnut angel step 12 string (5858). I was thinking of letting it go within the next week or so.

I think Noah would like it also, but of course, I promised you first shot at it.

"Want"!

Of course.
Reality dictates that I pick and choose my incoming guitars prudently. I have vacation and home improvements coming up.
I was hoping to complete the Preacher Deluxe, see what UPS brings Friday and sell them. Considering setting up a full Deacon set of pickups to sell with the Deacon 12 and then consider what flavor to grab. I thought I would be satisfied with an Adamas 12 string like the on being offered and then I saw the pictures of the OFC Tour Engineering Room!

Oh the pain! Make it stop!

OK. Let me get back to business. I think I can be somewhat flexible on pricing. So make me an offer!

hhara,

Did you get my e-mail? Can you use PayPal? If my offer was unacceptable please let me know, or counter-offer. :)

hhara,

Got your e-mail and understand the guitar is "on hold" and will "probably" be sold to someone else. If the probable buyer does not come through, I will still be interested. :)
