We have an early 1978 Super Adamas in stock! A revolutionary guitar loved by players and collectors alike, the Adamas is an elecrico that started as a prototype in 1976 and is so popular that new ones still exist today. It has been used by so many artists that there is no end to the number of stories about it. The unit we have just received is an early Super Adamas made in 1978, in the popular blue color with mono specification. Its "awesomeness," which can be recognized with a single stroke, impresses the player. Tracing back its history, it was priced at a whopping 1,000,000 yen from that time in 1978. However, the sound and the decoration and other manufacturing workmanship were definitely commensurate with the price. The condition of the guitar has some scratches, dents, and peeling of the surface layer. There is a mark on the binding frame on the front of the neck joint where it has been scraped. Probably, it was peeled off by resetting the neck. There are no cracks on the epaulettes. Walnut neck also has some dents. Nut width is 47.5mm wide neck. We assume that the neck has been used by various owners. After it arrived at our store, it has been carefully repaired and set up, making it very easy to play and restoring its original great sound. It has some signs of use, but there are no problems with playability. This is not a model you can easily find, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
