The American black walnut versions are an excellent match in terms of grain and colour for Adamas guitars and the minis look fantastic on the 47 reissue (I imagine they'll look just as good on the OFC guitar) They really complimemt the headstock and add to the warm, organic look of the neck. The full size walnut are ideal for Adamas 1 guitars. The full range at this rime, in both full-size and mini consists of: Rosewood, American Black Walnut, Grained Ivoroid and Faux Tortoise shell. All have internal metal bearin to prevent the button splitting. Special limited offer for OFC members - $65 per set including shipping. Here's a set of walnut mimis on my 47: And a closeup showing grain/colour match The grained ivoroid look really classy on guitars with neck binding. Here's a full-size set on my Custom Folklore. The whole range can be seen here M6 buttons I have limited quantities of these, and they will fit any Schaller M6 machine, full-size, mini and nylon body. They will not fit Gotoh, Grover or Ping, though I an working on a solution for that now. | ||

Joined: February 2002 Posts: 5750 Location: Scotland | Thanks to everyone who has placed orders. They're going out tomorrow morning. I have about 8 sets of all styles left. Just put a set of full-size ivoroid on my white Breadwinner. Looks great! | ||

Joined: February 2002 Posts: 5750 Location: Scotland | Running low on full-size walnut, only 3 sets left. I've ordered more, due mid-Jan. OK for all other sizes and materials for now. If anyone wants anything special (lacewood, zebrawood, solid abalone or whatever) let me know and I'll check price, availability and lead time for the next order. Still no Koa, sorry. | ||

My old Marcel's Adamas Slothead would like those tuners, probably the same than yours on your 47, how to do order it please ? Thanks and best regards from France Remy | ||

Joined: February 2002 Posts: 5750 Location: Scotland | Update. Just fitted a set of full-size tortie to a Tacoma JK28C with Gotoh machines. So despite what I was told my the guy who makes them, they will fit Schaller and Gotoh. I'll post other makes as I find out which are compatible. | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 847 Location: Munich, Germany | So, the tuner buttons have arrived... These grained ivoroids are stunning (as well as the walnuts are)! Put them on the JL3, and they give this guitar that certain vintage look. Look at the grain of these buttons - just awesome. I am sure they would match a slothead with ivoroid binding even better - but, til now ;) there is no such guitar in my home. The walnuts have to wait - the guitar for them is still in the make. Thanks Paul, Kurt | ||

Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | Nice, Kurt. I ordered a set of walnut for the OFC and a set of Rosewood for the Lakewood, and have been contemplating a set of the ivoroid for the JL3. Your picture has me convinced. PT, sending you another email ... | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 847 Location: Munich, Germany | Paul, I'm Kurt, not Karl. Don't mind, join the next EurOFC Gathering and you won't mix us up again. The walnuts are now on my beloved pooburst 1687, to acclimatize, but they are waiting for a custom ordered OFC. Bobbo, great choice. You'll love those ivoroid ones. They are absolutely beautiful!
