Unusual color.
I'm assuming that's what they "guesstimate" t'get a fibre top t'look like aged spruce (hence the +/- 3-5%)

Sounds like an interesting guitar.

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)......

Bell's Palsy is just a tasteless joke . . . sorry.

I'm not sure if I'd have the patience of waiting even a couple of months . . .

Don't forget t'post some pics when you get it!

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.

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 !

Remy, that Adamas is flat out beautiful! Doesn't it have a more modern preamp on it, or am I thinking of another guitar?

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 !

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...

Huh? I didn't read it that way.

Anyway, Stephen if your reading this and want to email that would be cool. Otherwise not. Just really curious what a 12-string baritone adamas must sound like. Beware of OSHA requirements.

I bet it sounded like a uke with a really deep voice. And extra strings.
