Did the SlotHeads actually SAY "Adamas" on them anywhere?
Being devoid of an official "label" on mine since I first stumbled upon it, I have no idea what they even looked like.
Anybody got a pic of one? Sam??
Were they officially called Adamas when they were at this stage of their development, or was the name given when they went into actual production/marketing?? |

Cliff if your adamas slothead is missing the label then it is one of the korean made copies.Its not worth anything!! Its a fake.I'll give you $182.00 for it.
Now that #43 has been discovered and a new value established i can safely offer you this price but only if it has the original case. |

As of yet, NOTHING'S been established.
I fear that "Shaft" is being held against his will in Michael Wong's basement . . . |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | I dont know why but something does not feel right about Shafts initial post and the price of the guitar..I could be wrong but my gut instinct says "something ain't right"...Shaft certainly knows about adamas guitars as he writes about them in nov.2003..??So why does he act as if he has never seen one?
If i am wrong then good luck to Shaft and his new guitar for $182.

I had finally stashed away enough cash without my wife knowing and went to buy a 1997 Collector's edition parlor guitar that the dealer had since 1997 and it was gone.
I then ran across this 1979 Adamas 1867-7 in near mint condition that someone else was selling.
I really liked the way this guitar looked and played.
I'm not into the "what's it worth" questions. I buy and keep my guitars unless my best friend talks me out of one and gives me what I paid.
What I do not want to do is pay to much for an instrument, especially if I can grab one off ebay or from one of you guys for a grand less.
This is also the first time I have seen one of these guitars.
Anyone have input on the 1979 ADAMAS 1867-7, serial number 666-93.
Thanks,
Jason

The guy I talked to may have written the model number wrong. He said 1867-7. This guitar had a carved headstock and a carved rim around the bowl/face of the guitar.
This looked like what I can best describe as a latin style guitar. Okay I'm a half breed meskin in Texas. This looked like a guitar that was made for me.
Thanks for the input. The guy wants $1500 for it.

im not saying he is not telling the truth.I just cant understand some of his original post and have some questions and doubt about his adamas knowledge("I found a cheezy guitar that said ADamas on it with a serial number that said 43-93 on its up.").
If im wrong then im sorry i stirred things up.
If #43(the gay adamas) is really discovered then great for everyone on this board. |

Cliff, I think they just said Ovation on the 16th fret. They may have said Adamas on the door which will be on the treble side of the bowl, on the part that sits on your knee. |

Don't listen to him, he's a bottom feeder. I'll give you $186 and, er, um, eighty-seven cents. Sorry, that's all I have in the GAS fund at present. |

Is yours made of Nato?
I will still have Ovation eye when I sift through the Junk-Malls! Here in PO we have a retired Dentist that has been attending Self-Storage Auctions for about 25 years. He owns most of the buildings and half of the "antique mall" business' downtown.
99.99% junk!
Its that .01% that keeps you coming back! |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Now that you mention it the ovation "custom" custom legend was on a Greek national TV show three days ago being played for an event opening a new bridge that connected two areas of Greece.George Dalaras played the guitar on all four songs that he played.At the end of his show the announcer made a comment about how beautiful the guitar was with the Greek flag on the top.He asked him to hold it up and show it.He did!!
Now im off to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics on NBC tonight.With some luck the Ovation will be on stage ?? At least i hope.

You did not fall for this flim flam.
You knew it by the way He talks.
You said we shouldn’t be out foxed!
It wasn’t found in some old store!
You said that we should best ignore!
We should not give this any note!
“Been there before” is what you wrote!
So, I thought that you should know,
I’m having mustard on my Crow!
I may eat it on a box.
I will not eat it with that Fox!
I’ll tell you Sam I am, you know:
Crow is best served warm, "To Go"! |

I cannot ignore such an offer
To add to my personal coffer
If you're willing to pay
Five dollars a day
I won't write any damned limericks!
Do we have a deal? :)

Btw Mike (& everyone else I may have email from), I'm not ignoring you. My ISP sent me an email saying they were going to 'upgrade' our email system last Sunday night. It's been screwed up ever since. There was nothing wrong with it that I could tell from here but they took off fixing it anyway.
If it ain't broke.... |
