Cool Guitar! I like the tremolo bar sound . It would be interesting to hear this guitar played with feedback!

Nice! Almost makes me wish I played guitar. i have a question though. When the truss rod cover is made of wood, where is the instrument serial number stamped?

That is a fine guitar, I wouldn't dare gig it in case it got scratched or dented.
No belt buckles please AND definitely no other person useage at gigs. Re thread 'Has your Alembic suffered damage at a jam session'
Enjoy for many years Joe

Terry; I'd play it on a gig.  But mine would be blue; I would love that same paint layering process in blue on that top, and on that body.  And I love that tremolo.  But of course I don't play guitar.

Judging from your picking skills on your video dave I don't think it would take you too long to learn ;-)

Hah!  Thanks Graeme; but those little strings hurt my fingers, and they're so close together too; and the space between the frets is a bit tight as well.  And then there's that whole G to B thing with the string tuning.

Absolutely Love the color/burst on your Guitar Joe!
So cool the way the Purpleheart accent looks/gets picked up next to the quilt/paint color.
 
Wow and congratulations!

I have to stop using the internet. Its getting to the point where I am becoming jealous of every instrument I see. Especially anything Alembic! Wow, what a beautiful finish! I wish I had something with those electronics, I bet she shimmers when plugged in!
