If it is an Adamas, and the action is good, and it's in good shape, it's probably worth that much. Check ebay for comparisons. Does it look like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1491905967#DESC

Then again, John McLaughlin, Paul McCartney, Nancy Wilson and others seem to like them!
