Title: Adam Black Guitars
Post by: indysmith on March 03, 2006, 09:54:08 AM: www.rosetti.co.uk/products/adamblack.htm
Did anybody try them at music live? i don't think i did - i thought they looked too expensive and out of my price range. They are gorgeous guitars though - and i'd really like to know how they sound, since i've found that you can get a Neck-Thru, mahogany winged, maple/rosewood necked guitar, with tune-o-matic bridge, grover tuners, abalone inlays, and satin trans-amber finish for £119!!??!?!?!?!?! Ridiculous...

Post by: carlaz on March 03, 2006, 02:41:46 PM: It would be well worth knowing how these things play -- GBP 120 for a through-neck? Surely there's a catch!? Though I hope there isn't .... :)

I'll take the through-neck bass and one of the acoustics at those prices, if they're any good!

Dont worry mate, I'll also be there, rocking out on the Glitch pedal and guitar :lol:

As to the guitars, an Apollo with zebra pickups would be awesome, the neck-thru "Natural" version is £300 though, but even with a set of BK's thats gotta be a good price, so long as it plays good!

Post by: Kilby on March 03, 2006, 06:38:19 PM: The little T5 acoustic looks pretty !

Do you know of a price list, (or somebody who stocks them)

Has anybody actually tried one ?

Is it me or would they look real nice with transparent black finish, and nickel finished hardware ?

Rob...

Post by: dave_mc on March 03, 2006, 08:13:38 PM: ^somebody else posted a link to a shop (with prices) earlier in the thread

anyone know the nut width/neck profile etc. on those guitars? they seem good value.

Of course, they probably aren't as good quality as they look...

Post by: tav on March 03, 2006, 08:45:12 PM: I seem to remember that whichever mag reviewed them seemed to prefer the cheaper model i.e. the non neck-through one.
