I was wondering if anyone knows of any 1537s made with the Adamas I neck and headstock? If not, that would sure be a cool custom order, along with a set of ebony tuners.

I've seen the opposite - Adamas I made with a wooden top. I think Al still has it.

I vaguely remember someone inquiring a few years ago about an Ovation/Adamas hybrid and I thought there was some restriction on what they would agree to do wrt mixing brands.

Or maybe that was the time I asked Jol if he could put an Ovation headstock on a Hamer body and he said "No Way".

WAIT - THEY JUST DID THAT WITH THE VXT !!!

What I was thinking about was picking up a project 1537 (or what ever the cutaway version was)and seeing if I could talk them into putting an Adamas I neck on it. (:

Technically it should still be an Adamas. Right?

No. It would be an Ovamas.

Or maybe a Fendamation? I checked out the wood topped Adamas on the lostartvintage site. It says it was a prototype and the only one made. Still makes me wonder if they would do it for me. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. But the price may hurt.
