so what do you guys think, is this FEATURED CUSTOM material? i was thinking it might be up there because it is a 7 string! I wish it would be the featured!

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! HOLY FREAKIN' POOP!!! It looks awesome!!!

It finally just hit me... every time I've seen your guitar, it's reminded me of something sub-consciously... but I didn't know what. And it just hit me. I don't know if, perhaps, you, like myself, are a COMIC BOOK FREAK -yes, that's right, I said a COMIC BOOK FREAK- but... your guitar reminds me a little of... Spider-Man! (A more contemporary version of his outfit -a la Scarlet Spider... if you know what that means.)

Yeah, there's an almost spider-like pattern, and also, there's some figuring on either side of the bookmatched horns -that looks almost like Spider-Man's eye-slits (of his mask).

O-kay, I hope that perhaps in some small way that amuses you or gives you something other than the impression that I'm a total freak of nature (which, of course, I am!).

Wow, the guitar really looks awesome. I've contemplated a custom Alembic 7-string guitar before... and I've really enjoyed watching the progress of your beauty. I'll look forward to hearing your account of her when she comes.

Check out the Alembic history pages from the main site if you get a chance. You'll see a shot of a 7-string from the early days. The pics are here.

Cool looking guitar!!!

Unfortunately, I don't own this guitar anymore. But...it did sound great. I had it setup Van Epps style with a low A. I am very picky when it comes to 7 strings, and I decided to let it go. Not that there was anything wrong with the guitar...I am fickle.

How close to completion are we? seems like the days get longer waiting for this puppy. does she have frets yet? Setup? let me know!

Hi Pat,

it's close; it is fretted, but James just sent it back to spray for a couple more coats. I think we are looking at another 10-14 days.
