Location: Jet City		I would love to give my assessment, however, I do not have an Adamas, let alone an Adamas with a carved headstock.

Please help me contribute to this post by sending me any Adamas possible. It would help me to give a complete review if you could send multiple examples of carved headstocks (both wood and foam), as well as non-carved traditional styled.

Thank you all for your help. Please PM me for address.

Perhaps not the best analogy; the 911 is more than slightly unbalanced insofar as the design still suffers from trailing throttle over-steer even after many years of development by Porsche and the car is a bit of a handful at track days particularly when driven by a novice..lol

... you know, I was trying to put my finger on a good example of something in the same catagory as the brocholi headstock. Something ugly as sin to most observers, yet gives boners to a hand full of hard core fans. Great example.

But in this case, the majority are getting boners and us discerning types are in the minority.
