| The Mothership outdid themselves on this one! Nobody knows what to call it; but it looks gorgeous and sounds, well, like an Adamas!    OP-Pro Studio, 93C neck, Adamas Cobalt Blue CVT Top, Elite Epis (one was a stock Viper Epi, the other had to be custom-made by reversing the old tooling - what imagination!) Abalone trim, Ebony bridge to match the pegface and tuner buttons. Loaded with craftsmanship that only a Mother(ship) can give! Gotta go play!!! | |||

OK, obviously it's a custom. BUT, made from your parts or scratch from a MS menu?  The reason I'm so interested is that I LOVE the 'O' parlor size, ergo my attachment to my '97C! Man, my mind is racing with the possible fantastic combos... Ummm, let's see, an iDea p-a, inlaid walnut bass side epi, suspension ring, black nut & saddle, etc... Oh jeez, I could be in soooo much trouble...  | |||

BUT, made from your parts or scratch from a MS menu? An old 93C neck... That parlor body? Or did they just scrounge-around in the parts bin and collect all that stuff? | ||

I brought this down:  And spoke to John about possibilities. We had noodled about the Adamas top for my 97C and that wound up getting a Koa top (see the other post). First and only one of its' type, and stunning to look at and hear. The 93C really just was a nice neck, so we planned and discussed this one a while. The Elite layout on the Parlor body was one hurdle, the Epis another. (Iffy - you can't fit a suspended ring top on the Parlor body.) I wanted a "mini-Millennium" and this is what popped out! My 93C neck on a custom body. First and only one again. After a couple of hours playing it I have to say that it is very impressive soundwise. I'm thinking the Adamas top would sound good on a cigar box! I LOVE the Parlor body - let your imagination run wild! I have my next Parlor "wish list" submitted and we will be mapping it out for Q4 delivery. Hint: It involves an abnormal number of strings for a Parlor.... :D | |||
