Location: Paris/France | Hi,
I've got the crazy project to have pics of all the #47-RI that's why I'd like to ask to all the owners of this outstanding guitar if they could help me??? ADAMAS #47-RI PAGE
I know that it will be hard to find them all because they're everywhere in the world but I'm still confident. ;)
At this time, I've got pics from the #003,#007,#010,#011,#019,#024 & #033 models and I will have pics of the #013 pretty soon.
I'd like to thank you all by advance for your help. ;)

I'm anxious to see your pics from Australia.
I went to Australia for 3 weeks in 1999 and it's an outstanding country!!
It still one of the greatest travel I've ever made.

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Dave's 47-47 is beautiful. And sounds incredible. I think I played it more than he did (Thanks Dave) Saturday. I have to say that I didn't buy one of these guitars because of the narrow neck, but because of the profile these necks play easy....
I came close to giving my credit card to Al after playing Cliff's slot and then Dave's. Nice friggin' guitars. |

I have # 5 reserved...as most of you know, I have # 3 that I love. I don't want to hoard.
If someone on the OFC wants a LOW, LOW, LOW serial number (2nd lowest serial that we know of), contact Al as soon as possible.
If no one has bought it by noon EST (Al's time) tomorrow (9/19/06) - it will come to San Diego.
It is time, wait and you may not be able to find one. |

#33 belongs now to one of my friend but I don't know where are the 3 others...
My quest seems to be hard but I'm still confident...
One thing is sure, #05 will stay in the OFC Family!!
Hurry up guys, this is the last call for an outstanding guitar who will stay in O's history for a long long time... ;)

As it originally appeared that they were only making 47, are the guitars above 47 getting a different sequence of numbers...such as AT48 (AT for after thought)? |

Either it will come out, or I'll have missed the slothead reissue altogether. We'll see..... |

I now need to get operated on so I won't get anymore GAS in the foreseeable future. |

Congrats for the #5!!!
I'm so glad for you.
For the pics, 1024x768 is usually good enough.
Thank you very much for you help. ;)
Today, I had a message from the #35's owner.
This guitar in France and I should have some pics in the future.
Thank you all.

Des Geyers schwarzer Haufen
Look at "Bilder" (=pictures).Here you can see Ralph playing his book Mandocello and Adamas. It's a lot of fun!

Do you remember this guitar??? ;)
I've got a real weakness for it because it was my first and because it's an amazing sounding instrument.
If I want to sell it one day, you will be the first to be informed.
She has now some nice sisters and the next one is awaited in few days...
Thanks
