Location: Paris/France | Hi,
I'm glad to show you my "miniatures" Guitars collection.
I've got 3 O's in this collection: an Elite 1537, a Custom Legend and a Breadwinner:
MINI GUITARS COLLECTION
I think it's funny to share some pics of this collection with you. :)
Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to have all the original models...

Sorry but you can't buy them!!!
I've done these models 2 years ago when I was looking for a job... :(
I've done that work to make the days shorter.

I will think about this idea. ;)
But I'm not sure it could be a profitable business.
It takes me between 15 and 30 hours per model!!
I have to finish the Stratocaster, the Les Paul and the Gibson 335 and the next one will be an Adamas in beige color!!
I love this pic :

But it's not a talent!!!
It's only a "patience Game" with a lot of meticulousness.
I started my new project this afternoon.
An Adamas I 2.5 times smaller than the Original one.
A great adventure!!! :D
I've never made such a big one.
I don't know yet how to do the bowl back.
The fretboard is in Poplar and the top...
I don't know the name of this wood in English. :D
Help me please. The wood very very light and very common for making models???

The wood shavings in one of your pictures - that's about all I can make in modeling. Good job! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Jerome, This is a wonderful project. If 2.5 times smaller than a real Adamas I, then I think this mught be the answer to the Adamas Ukulele I have always wanted. Please install just 4 strings. Dave |

Jerome, we have got to find you a girlfriend..... That's exactly what's my Mom says everyday...
But when I read some of your posts, I think it's not urgent:
- My wife don't want another guitar...
- My wife says that I've got too much guitars...
- My wife don't want to see my guitars on the wall...
I've got the solution: Stay alone (joke)!!!
And sometimes, there's a post like this one:
- My wife bought me an Adamas... :eek:
If you have a girlfriend like this one, please send it to me!!!

PS: the first test of assembly

Location: Paris/France | My first Adamas model is near to be finished.
3 or 4 hours of work more and it will be done!!
The head and the carved rim around the top are done.
It was surely the hardest thing to do.
Now I have to glue the neck, to add the strings and some details to finish. (like the cover plate at the back and the strap locks).
It was a funny project.

I'm already thinking about the next one.
Maybe Karl's Deluxe Balladeer???
It can be a great challenge to make an historical 3 pieces top Shiny Bowl.
Unless Moody find me a girlfriend before... :D :D
