 ADAMAS | | ACOUSTIC | | The first production Adamas was introduced in 1976. The model designation is unknown currently, but was available with a Blue, Green, Red, Natural, or a Black finish. Pricing and specs are currently unknown and research is underway. Adamas also made two guitars with center soundholes: the W591, which was part of the CVT series, and the 6591, part of the SMT series. Adamas currently offers custom shop guitars where the customer starts with a base model and select options are available. Currently, Adamas features four base models for their Custom Shop program the 1581 (base MSR $3,999), the 1680 (last base MSR was $4,249), the 1687 (base MSR $4,099), the 2080 (base MSR $3,649), and the W2097 (base MSR $3,649). | | CVT W597 | | - single cutaway, mid-depth bowl-back body, cross weave carbon fiber top, five-piece mahogany/maple/ebony neck, 14/22-fret diagonal end ebony fingerboard, multi-soundhole, ebony bridge, three-per-side tuners, Adamas Hi-Output pickup, OP50 electronics, gold hardware, available in Graphite (4G), Bronze (BZ), and Cobalt Blue (CB) finish, mfg. 1999-2007. |
