Do any Adamas 6 string guitars have inlays on the neck? The website only shows the 12 string to have them.

My Adamas II 6-string has them. I saw of picture of an Adamas W597 on E-Bay a few minutes ago that doesn't. Guess it depends on the model.

The original incarnation of Adamaii have inlays, the latest incarnation don't (except the Melissa Ethridge model).

there was a period when they didn't have inlays, from 77 to 100something. Actually the slotheads don't have inlays, they were this little pattern that was burned into the f/b (as in branded, like a cow. Remember these burning sets from boy scouts?)and then filled with white epoxy.

Mine aren't "filled".

Mine still have the appearance of being carved (or burned) into the fingerboard and "guilded" in gold.

Do you know if many were done in this manner?

(I think we need to start tracking/cataloging these things).

Excellent point Cliff. I thought my rocking chair had gotten the better of me so I went and looked at #53 and you're right, they are gilded. So now I'm thinkin have I really lost it? So I go look at #35 and it's filled with white. Phew! Same pattern and everything, just filled.
Back then each color had a different combination of Eppi woods, same woods, just in different combinations. There were only three combos I think, one for the -2, -7, and the blue -8. There may have been one for the -9 too but it might have used the same as the -7.
