Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | Hi Everyone,
I recently received some documentation about the Adamas guitar and I was curious if anyone knew who the author was. The document is well written and contains specific serial numbers when changes occured; some of which I had not seen before, i.e. photographed mylar epaulettes appeared from serial number sixty-two through seventy-six.
Can anyone here identify the author? If so, please let me know.
Thanks,
Nick |

As per few comments posted, these documents seem extremely interesting. I think Nick was in bona fide posting documents related to the topic we are all here. Also Nick bought them so I see no rule infringement here ... maybe I'm wrong. |

I am glad I was afforded the opportunity to read these. Even though I consider these documents only a general idea of how the Adamas line was developed and refined, it's good to know just how much work went into the instruments we hold dear to our hearts. |

Karl There is proprietary information, and there are also trade secrets, but patents generally expire 20 years from filing, or back many many years ago, they expired the latter of 20 years from filing or 17 years from grant. |
