Location: Paris/France		Hi,

I'm glad to show you my "miniatures" Guitars collection.
I've got 3 O's in this collection: an Elite 1537, a Custom Legend and a Breadwinner:
MINI GUITARS COLLECTION

I think it's funny to share some pics of this collection with you. :)
Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to have all the original models...

Sorry but you can't buy them!!!
I've done these models 2 years ago when I was looking for a job... :(
I've done that work to make the days shorter.

Maybe, making these models should be your job! I believe a lot of us would buy these from you if they were available for sale.

Who knows...
I will think about this idea. ;)
But I'm not sure it could be a profitable business.
It takes me between 15 and 30 hours per model!!
I have to finish the Stratocaster, the Les Paul and the Gibson 335 and the next one will be an Adamas in beige color!!

I love this pic :

Location: Paris/France		Thanks,

But it's not a talent!!!
It's only a "patience Game" with a lot of meticulousness.

I started my new project this afternoon.
An Adamas I 2.5 times smaller than the Original one.
A great adventure!!! :D
I've never made such a big one.
I don't know yet how to do the bowl back.

The fretboard is in Poplar and the top...
I don't know the name of this wood in English. :D
Help me please. The wood very very light and very common for making models???

The wood shavings in one of your pictures - that's about all I can make in modeling. Good job!

Location: Phoenix AZ		Jerome, This is a wonderful project. If 2.5 times smaller than a real Adamas I, then I think this mught be the answer to the Adamas Ukulele I have always wanted. Please install just 4 strings. Dave

That's exactly what's my Mom says everyday...

But when I read some of your posts, I think it's not urgent:
- My wife don't want another guitar...
- My wife says that I've got too much guitars...
- My wife don't want to see my guitars on the wall...

I've got the solution: Stay alone (joke)!!!

And sometimes, there's a post like this one:
- My wife bought me an Adamas... :eek:

If you have a girlfriend like this one, please send it to me!!!


J :)

PS: the first test of assembly
