Al you are in business and entitled to make a profit (ie living)
You have never stated otherwise than to be fair.

| I am sure you have a few unhappy people out of the thousands you have worked with through the years Al. That is to be expected. There are so many of us who know you take the time to see our orders are done as professionally as they can be and often your just stuck in the middle anyway and easily blamed for others mistakes. So enjoy the praise!
But you have to admit there is an awful lot of A$$ Kissing going on here...... :D |

This was supposed to be a thread of celebration and congradulation of Al.
This sudden turn south, of which I played a part, is unfortunate. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I have had the pleasure of buying two "off-the-shelf" Ovations, one specially-ordered Custom Elite, and helping my guitar student get his first good guitar, all from Al. I don't have an Adamas yet, but, when the time comes, there will only one place I'll go to order her. :) |

Location: atlanta | Al, I can't say that I'm surprised that you have achieved this distinction. It reminds me of my very first post on this board in December 2002 (actually I was on the wrong board--I should've posted on the Trade/Sale board, but I didn't know any better back then). I was asking about a certain model vintage Adamas guitar. Several of the members greeted me on my first post--but you cut straight to the chase--your response was "Are you buying or selling?"
If Kaki had not become an Adamas Artist three months later, there is no doubt in my mind that I too would have become one of your satisfied customers. I know of no one more devoted, personally and professionally, to the Adamas brand then you have been since that first day when I became an OFC member.
Finest and warmest personal regards--
Dave King |

Boastfull? Hey, you think the GUITARS get no respect, how about the DEALER ...
I dunno, maybe there's disgruntled buyers out there but stuff like this usually smacks of some one with an axe to grind. I can't speak of anyones dealings with Al other than my own, but a dozen or two guitars worth and it's been nothing other than first class.
Before any lurkers jump to the conclusion "you just say that because he's your friend". Yeah, well HOW do you think people pick their friends - honesty, integrity, and got-your-back is a good starting place.
Al, you're #1 in my book wether it's boastfull or not. Facts speak louder than fiction. Sorry if this derails the thread but damn it why does someone always have to throw a wet blanket on something positive.
Dave Its weird but you start out dealing with Al
as I did with the purchase of a 1719 after 2007 tour. Started as a business transaaction.
3 Ovations, 1 Adamas, 1 Hamer, 1 Applause and Idea preamp later you consider him a friend.
Al is now always my first check now.
He good man.
He deserves a to take a bow and get round of appause. |
