Repairs with some Modifications Project
(1974/1975)
At the end of 2008, the OFC members gave me a fantastic gift by funding the repair of this exceptional guitar. This is one among the 26 Adamas prototype built before the pre-production "Slotheads" and this one is number #11. In January 2009, I gave it to Mike LoBosco who was in Paris and he has been kind enough to take it back to he Factory. After almost 2 years of waiting, the repairs began few weeks ago and I'm so glad to share the first photos with you. I asked for few modifications such as replacing the neck that was dead and for few other minor cosmetic changes. My wish was to respect this instrument and to keep its original character and when I see those first pictures, I have no doubt with the talent and skills of the team from New Hartford to bring back this guitar to life. Thank you guys, you are true magicians!!! |
