in your signature there is a 1681-8. Shouldn't that be an Adamas I?
Or are you just looking for one of the non-cutaway models, 1687?
Like this one?
Adamas I 1687-9

Location: Texas | Hey Kurt - that is a 1981 Adamas II 1681-8 that I have- no carved headstock or bridge - one of the first Adamas II's
yes the Adamas I 1687-9 would be the type I would like - more affordable that the original slot head - even though you never see the slot heads for sale - just some very nice pics |

Location: Munich, Germany | Yes, my fault. MIxed up the second digit with the last. For sure it is an Adamas II.
To be true, it took a long time for me to get used to those carved headstocks. Then I got my #47 - and fell in love with it. And the 1687-9 shown on the pictures is probably the one guitar in my collection that I am the most happy about. Absolutely gorgeous and nearly factoryfresh.
I know Al has some Adamas I listed.
Best regards,
Kurt |

The 1687-9 that you have is one beautiful guitar!!! You are a lucky man. Those carved headstocks are something special. Have you ever notice that it looks like it is staring at you? I swear it has eyes :eek: |

Location: Phoenix AZ | No, 1887 never existed and would have been a cutaway if it did. This is 1687-8S. The S means shallowbowl. At least that's what it says on the label. |
