Seller's description

We have received a 1986 Adamas II. This is a value-for-money model in the Adamas series, featuring a slightly narrower neck width and a firmer string tension, with a simpler design for the headstock and bridge base compared to the top-of-the-line Super Adamas. Based on the serial number and specifications, it is believed to have been manufactured in 1986. It features a carbon graphite top and a unique multi-soundhole design (epaulette), and its deep-bowl body produces a rich, full-bodied acoustic tone with a strong presence. It is equipped with the highly popular OP24 preamp, which offers simple controls—including volume and a 3-band EQ—and produces a natural sound. Although there is a dent at the tip of the headstock on the 6th string side, some minor scratches on the body, and some tarnish on the hardware, it is in good condition with minimal signs of use, especially considering it was manufactured in 1986. It has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent. Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use Serial Number: 8915-86 Year of Manufacture: 1986 Country of Manufacture: United States Case: Genuine hard case Truss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right—no problems Remaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing String Height (Low String Side): 2.3 mm at the 12th fret String action (treble side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret Nut width: 41.6 mm Neck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.2 mm Scale: 641 mm (25.2") RADIUS: 254 mm (10") Strings at Setup: D'Addario EJ-16 / .012-.053 set Repairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement * As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here. Please be aware of this in advance. * Any listed measurements for the truss rod, remaining fret life, string action, etc., were taken by our staff during set
