Title: Have Alembic ever made a bass or guitar with Leather wrap?
Post by: jazzyvee on September 09, 2016, 05:40:45 AM

Just seen this one on line and wondered if Alembic ever been asked, or done a hand tooled leather wrap on their basses or guitars

I dunno - I'm thinking if that were a 4-string with a rosewood 'board, I'd be digging it hard (and mebbe Activator it up....)

Elvis-style on an acoustic? Absolutley!
On a solid-body?  Not so much.
