Title: Article about Pretzel Guitar given to Sam Cutler by Garcia
Post by: StephenR on November 16, 2020, 12:37:13 PM
This was published over the summer, I rarely read Relix and had never seen this guitar before. Wonder if a permanent owner has been found yet? The club member who now owns Mission Control was taking care of it temporarily.

So, of late we've had a Pretzel & a Peanut; is there an Alembic "Beer" guitar out there?

Mica, is the s/n on this one known?  I'd guess it has to be lower than 10, right?

If I were to guess I would think that the Pretzel pre dates serial numbers.

This was made in '71. More of a Turner guitar than an Alembic per se. I remember seeing another pretzel guitar at SFMOMA about 18 years ago. Cool creations!
