These photos come from an ad published in Japan years ago. If you are the owner, please feel free to contact me. Here's here's the original description translate from Japanese: Specifications: EXF, BLK Finish, Deep Bowl, Rosewood Fretboard & Bridge, Original Pickup (1 Volume), Schaller Gold Tuners, Hard Case included. Description: A 1687-5 Proto Model!! While the specific details remain a mystery, this Adamas carries a beautiful vintage patina. It shows some light signs of use—such as minor nicks on the tip of the headstock and the back of the neck—but it is in overall excellent condition. The metal hardware on the body’s back plate shows some age-related wear, but this does not affect its functionality. The standout feature is the neck; its feel and texture are remarkably similar to those from the late '70s to early '80s. The wood feels dense and well-seasoned, and the hand-carved detailing on the headstock gives it a wonderful "handmade" aesthetic. Nut Width: 42.5mm Sound: It boasts a unique tonal character with excellent body resonance. Electronics: Equipped with a simple, streamlined 1-volume pickup configuration. Accessories: Comes with a modern Ovation BLK hard case.
