Location: Phoenix AZ | Jerome just emailed my with the best set of photos yet of the #47 reissue. The guitar is in France no less. Absolutely stunning.
I don't know where all 47 are going, but anyone sitting on the fence should grab one of the available ones NOW. You will regret it in the future.

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
You can trust in me, this guitar is outstanding!!!
It's impossible to catch the real color and the beauty of this instrument with my digital camera.
The better example of the color is viewable on the 10th photo.
I took these pics behind the shop and unfortunately, the sun was not there...
The top is plenty of gold glitters and the color is changing with the light.
It's magic!!
According Christine from the music shop, the reissues are not built at this time and should be available in august or september...
This one was probably made for the NAMM show or for the Franckfurt Messe and it's gonna leave France next week with his new owner.
I'd really like to thank Christine for the permission to take some pics for sharing with you.
I haven't really played it because it's an order for a customer and not for demonstration.
My friend Pacal and myself thought that it was more respectful to leave it in mint and unplayed condition.
But I've heard her voice and it's an Adamas without a doubt!!
A very very good one. ;)
I'm sure that Tony will make a complete review of the #03 pretty soon.
The serial of this one is "#07".
I'm sorry because if I'm right, an OFC'er is hoping for this serial... :(
This guitar wasn't for me and I sincerely hope that Mister Al will have one for me. ;)
At the end, I'd like to congratulate all the people at the factory for doing such a great work.
Today was a special day for me because I was so lucky to hold this guitar in my arms.
I'll have some troubles to sleep this night... :D

Here's a photo of the label:

Location: SoCal | I would love to have a #47 or an OFC guitar (based upon the #47). But this just isn't going to be the year for either one.
And to be real honest, I don't feel too bad about it. I look and play the guitars I have and feel damned fortunate to own my guitars. Unfortunately, my three chords don't sound that different no matter how good the guitar I play them on.... |

That's too bad. Not only is Al not getting the guitars yet, but he's obviously not getting the serials he requested. The OFC are the biggest slothead homos in the world. I would have expected the factory to treat Al and us a little better than that. Too bad.

No problem, I was the one asking for #07, I can accept the fact that I ended up with #03 :D
Well, as mine arrives Tuesday, we know that at least two left the factory. |

Location: Bangkok, Thailand | So now we all see #7 and #3 already....
I wonder about how the factory build ?
Do they build it by number ?
Does this means they already built 7 of 47 ?
So where are 1 2 4 5 6 ?
btw, the burst is too dark for me.....comparing with the #35 that Cliff was playing. |
