Location: Phoenix AZ | I found this floating out on the web (can't remember the site). Is it a bad knock off of an original Adamas Slothead ???

Location: Phoenix AZ | NO, it's a full sized guitar. Nylon strung. But it has what appears to be a very good copy of the original carved slothead headstock. The photo is very poor resolution. |

Location: SoCal | There were a couple of nylon string prototypes built, I believe. One was a Country Artist super shallow bowl built for Glen Campbell, and now owned by Wong. I'm not certain about classicals. The prevailing thought was that the nylon strings don't drive the top well enough to justify using graphite over spruce or cedar.
There were alson a couple of nylon string Elites made as well. |

Location: Scotland | The were at least a couple of guitars made for Marcel Dadi which had slot-head versions of the later production Adamas headstock, though I think all of Dadi's guitars were steel-string with walnut fingerboards and an unusual treble-side soundhole layout. The body outline looks wrong on this, the upper bout is too square, and the finish looks wrong also. It could be a Photoshop knock-up |
