OK I learned sumthin new today.

I really like the looks of the Millennium Adamas. But I didn't know that it was just one of a set of four models. The Millennium was the "Universe" commemorative, and there was also a "Sun", "Earth", and "Moon" commenorative model as well, each in a difference color or construction.
As usual, jerome's website has it covered:

How cool is that?!?! Anyone know how many of each were really made? Anyone have a full set?

I'm sure Beal has something interesting to add...

WOW!

Now that's a set I could be talked into...right after I win the lottery.

BTW, Al has a moon edition that I've been staring at regularly for years! I just didn't realize it was part of a set. Just a little more guitar "lunacy" on my part. (Get it? )

Don't forget the "hell" model, too . . .

Well that solves a mystery.
My local music store had the wood topped "Moon" model on display. I waited to long & it was gone. :mad: Never saw or heard of anything like it again.
That guitar is truly, "The One That Got Away". :(
The picture does not do it justice.

I'd take the wood topped model over the Adamas model in a heartbeat.

Actually there are 4 models besides the Millennium - The Sun, The Earth, The Moon and The Universe. The one that they show in the brochure as The Universe, has the same specs as the millennium with different epaulets.

I have lusted after these things on and off since I got the Millennium. I got to play Al's moon edition awhile back and it's very nice.

My understanding was that these were "commissioned", for lack of a better word, by the Japanese Ovation distributor. Some were kept stateside for US sale (mostly Mellenium). At least that's what I recall.

All the times I surfed Al's site and I never saw it before!
How could that be??
An eclipse maybe?
