Very nice without inlays on the fretboard and original slothead binding in brown!!
What's your opinion??

Location: SoCal | Why #61? It's definitely early. Foam headstock trim, mylar (?) epaulets, and no fingerboard inlays.
Convert the price to dollars -- $6354 |

Why #61? Paul,
This one was sold 2 or 3 years ago in Japan and the previous description said that it was one of prototype made between the Slotheads and the first production model (#61 to #76).
Why not #61?? :rolleyes: ;)
HERE\'S THE PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION in case if someone is fluent in Japanese, English is already hard enough for me... :D

Were the pre-production guitars all like this? |

The ring is probably dark brown and it's just glued on like an Applause outer ring. Paper Eppis, 61 is as good a number for it as any, that's the right time frame on this one. |

Location: Paris/France | Thank you Beal for these precious information about the binding.
I said #61?? because I'd be glad to see the first non slothead Adamas produced but the serial doesn't matter, it's a very early one and I'm fascinated by these models!!
I've asked for the serial and I'll let you know if I get a reply.

I understand that he wants to keep this information for the buyer only.
Maybe next time... ;)

Forgive my ignorance, but there appears to be an access panel on the waist that I've not seen before. Is that for electronics?
