Presentation
What happens when a legendary rock voice designs its own tool? You get the Adamas 1598-MEIII. This 12-string electro-acoustic captures the essence of Melissa Etheridge: raw, passionate and articulate. Forget the indistinct wall of sound. Here, each pair of strings sings with separate clarity, from the bass that anchors the world to the treble that outlines the sky. The secret? A unidirectional carbon fibre top. This material acts like a perfect loudspeaker, transforming the most vigorous strumming into a controlled, musical deflagration. The lateral openings and the Quintad baffle do the rest, projecting this richness as much towards the musician as towards the room.
Playing a 12-string becomes a conversation, not a battle. The rigid maple neck and ebony fingerboard offer stable ground under your fingers. The width of the TUSQ nut (47.6 mm) and the joint at the 14th fret give you room to negotiate with the twelve souls of the instrument. And the mini die-cast tuners? They keep their promise, note after note, like a silent, infallible tuner.
Plug it in. The OCP-1K pickup, nestled under the ebony bridge, and the OP-Pro preamp don't just amplify. They reveal. They expose every harmonic, every subtlety of your playing, whether you're in the middle of a rock mix or in the privacy of a writing session. That's the definition of fidelity.
This instrument isn't just stunning to look at. The 'ME' inlays, the signature logo, the deep black finish: these are the hallmarks of a heritage. Built on American soil and accompanied by its ABS case, this guitar is a guarantee of quality.
