Location: Angoulême - France | I can give your the good answer Johnny : they are really not able to do that, I tried it, really not possible. They can do that with 1 3/4 width nut but not 1 7/8, except if you do it with a non carved walnut (or ebony) bridge, so forget it and with 1 7/8 width think about a 1680 NWT slotted peghead or Adamas 1 non slotted peghead, I took the first choice fort the custom I recently ordered and 'm waiting for now...

other sloted headstock necks may be avail in other widths I am not sure.

Location: Portland, OR | Thanks for the link, Karl.. I guess that's as good as it gets.. but I wanted a full blown, here's a picutre of every option, and price of every option available! Then I want to go online and be able to virtually build it like you can with some car companies! THAT would be something.

(hint) Are you hinting that I should ditch these newfangled plasticbacks and get a Carvin? Or that ovation may follow suit and step up their catalog!! :D |

Location: Phoenix AZ | My view on this is that the concept of "Custom Shop" has always been in existence with those few customer focussed dealers that didn't mind going to the extra effort to custom order EXACTLY what the customer desired. Even if it took countless exchanges of emails, phone calls at all hours, photos, etc. It's a significant amount of extra effort for the dealer. The only difference as of NAMM '07 is that the factory now seems interested to more widely advertise this capability to the public. and maybe have some guidelines of base models and options to work from. Make no mistake, it's still a lot of work for the dealer. Dave |

Location: Australia | Yeah well I've custom ordered an Adamas before too, but I'm referring to the new formalised CS with a list of options that probably most of us were never aware of. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think the only difference is that now the custom order isn't limited to just what you may think you want off the top of your head, but you can look at the catalog or website and maybe get additional ideas.
For example a few years ago I custom ordered an adamas and asked for gloss neck and no electronics. If I had the catalog to stimulate me, I probably would have gotten torty binding, a wide skunk, and a boner nut as well.
As far as I know the ordering process is unchanged, just contact your dealer.
