Joined: August 2006 Posts: 75 Location: Angoulême - France | You're right Cliff, it's like a natural vintage spruce guitar with an original graphite table(damned crazy guy !), ebony fingerboard without inlays, like a classical guitar, beveled end of fingerboard like original Adamas and 47 RI, the rosette is exactly this Marcel DADI's Adamas here... yes unusual Adamas....sounding is important too (deep bowl, 12 cases, acoustic saddle, suspended ring)...... http://www.ovationtribute.com/Adamas_Slotheads/Other_Slotheads/Adam... | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15677 Location: SoCal | Cliff is so damned tacky in naming a specific affliction. I, being the tasteful person that I am, always just said that it looked like an Adamas with a stroke....... Remy, it's going to be a great guitar when you get it. Definitely, post pics. | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 75 Location: Angoulême - France | Thanks Moody. I just love this "stroke" Adamas, memories from my dear siprit father and friend Marcel DADI : I couldn't do a custom Adamas without that link with him ! Cliff : I'm proud to be the owner of his amazing and non stroke Adamas here, I love it too ! http://www.ovationtribute.com/Adamas_Slotheads/Other_Slotheads/Adam... | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 75 Location: Angoulême - France | You're right Moody : years ago, I made modify the bridge and replaced all original electronics(damned crazy guy !) by just a film piezo b-band (and acoustic tusq saddle) with jack preamp : great acoustic sounding now, and more natural electro, but not really the standard sounding now, but I really love it, really great sounding !

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 75 Location: Angoulême - France | You'll find there one of the many links with The Pantone Color system. The factory needs that reference for a non stock choice color. For my custom order it's a "134" with 3-5% gold sequins, no more (as usual Adamas), because the idea is a relative sober Adamas, the factory tried to dissuade me with that plain and non reverse burst color on a graphite table, but I did it...
