Location: Paris/France		Hi,

I've noticed something strange on that Adamas II.
The Top ring seems to be made with wood just like the 1537 and it's a 2 piece neck.
Did you seen something like that before???
Could it be a custom order or a prototype??

J :)

Location: SoCal		It looks wide, like an Ovation electric. Also not as symetrical coming off the fretboard....

Location: Munich, Germany		I have to add, that the form reminds me of some of the old celebrity pegheads. Wider and shorter.

Kurt

Edit: Just checked with my bass - Cliff could be right: A modified bass peghead. But the neckwidth should be wide as well.

So, come on, Beal, tell us. Sombody right?

Location: 6 String Ranch		Very good guys, it's the wider version as used on the electrics(preechers and vipers). I thought we'd do that so it would be different from the rest of the acoustic line. proved to be too much of a pain so it got scrubbed.

Location: Munich, Germany		Mr. Carter says, foam started with guitar #100 and it lasted for several thousand units. But I can't believe that it was that much guitars with foam.

How does one get the tuning knobs aligned like that if the guitar IS in tune??
