Location: Germany		I think Jerome already posted some pictures of the Hong Kong Ovation models. I ordered the Adamas model and I'm really surprised how detailed they are. It's a very nice decorative item for my office desk now. The only disadvantage is that the preamp doesn't work.

Location: Paris/France		The entire collection is very well made and the Adamas 1687-8 is the hardest to find but the nicest of them all.
My wish is that the next serie will include the Slothead #47, the 1537 and other great vintage models... ;)

Good luck with the translations... here

I know, not much help.

Their Gretsch Collections look equally impressive!

Location: Sydney, Australia		Karl,

Thanks for that link. I got the Adamas 1581 for me (it's the closest thing to mine) and the Legend 1717 for my nephew (who has a 1117.

These are so cute. Mine's going on my desk at work. SWMBO said "I thought it was for your desk at home" - I can see the real thing from there.
