Location: moline,illinois		So it says adamas,do you think it has a carbon-fiber top??
I tried searching argentinian adamas and google came back with argentine llamas so who knows when it was made.
We could all put a dollar toward buying it and test out the trebuchet lol

Maybe, but a helluva-lotta work, ANYWAY.
Gets some credit for that, in my book.

Uh... So do you think that was intentional deception?

Location: moline,illinois		OMA,between the faux broccoli headstock and multi-soundhole top I'd say the font and "Adamas" name were intended to make someone believe this was the real thing,whether it was done as a one off or counterfeit production model is hard to say because I can't find any info on it on the web.
Intentional deception YES!!!

Location: moline,illinois		The epi's do look cool,they missed one hole though,only 10 per side on this and 11 per side on a real adamas,maybe they did it just enough different to avoid copyright infringement,I've got to say for all the other work they did that's one funky headstock and I like broccoli...lol

So OMA how much are you bidding on it I don't want to drive up the price on you

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		So who won it?
That is about $100 more that I would have paid for it.

Yeah, I would have bought it for a novelty.
I even owned a bowl-back "Crafter" for about two weeks.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I did some research on this one, and no I didn't win the Auction either. It may have actually been "customized" for a once pretty hot restaurant called "Industria Argentina" in New York. That phrase/name isn't really a phrase or a thing IN Argentina. It was being sold out of an Estate Sale and the guy selling it didn't know anything about its history. While on the surface there are a lot of choices that most of us don't like... it's obvious someone went through a lot of effort to do what was done. Personally I would love to know the story as that may be more interesting than the guitar itself.

I'm pretty sure "Industria Argentina" just means it's made in Argentina. It's a knock-off, end of story.

Here are a couple other examples of labels on guitars from Argentina...
