I'm not sure but THIS ADAMAS GUITAR could be the #61.
Very nice without inlays on the fretboard and original slothead binding in brown!!
What's your opinion??

Why #61? It's definitely early. Foam headstock trim, mylar (?) epaulets, and no fingerboard inlays.

Convert the price to dollars -- $6354

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

"used to be mine"

I can see a Paul Harvey answer just waiting for the right timing...

What is the significance behind the black(ish) 'tree-of-life' on the headstock.

Were the pre-production guitars all like this?

Bad brocoli that year.

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.

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.

The guitar is sold and the seller don't want to disclose the serial. :(
I understand that he wants to keep this information for the buyer only.
Maybe next time... ;)

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

That access door acts as the holder for the 9v battery.
