Title: Where is the proper place to make a request?
Post by: trekster on June 01, 2005, 06:55:55 AM

I'm probably gonna get this wrong, but here goes:  Where is the proper sub-category to place a picture request?  I was reading that fab writeup in Wikipedia about Alembic Inc, and saw that blurb about Johnny Winter's customer Alembic Firebird-style guitar.  I'd love to see a pic of it, but did not find anything in the Showcase area.  Does Alembic or any of the readers out there have a pic of this one-of-a-kind?

The Johnny Winter guitar that I am familiar with is here (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=2283), though it's not a Firebird style guitar.  And this category seems like a good place for such a request.

Dave - I think Trekster means Firebird as in famous Gibson guitar shape, rather than fiery bird-like creature.

I asked Susan about this & she said Alembic made 2 guitars for Johnny Winter, the first being the one Dave provided a link to in his above post, while the second was a small standard body guitar, not a Firebird style.

Thanks for clearing that up Val. Susan had mentioned the Johnny Winter connection to me a while back and I obviously got the wrong end of the stick. I'll fix the Wickepedia entry. Sorry Trekster.

eh, no sweat.  I'm sure if it had existed it would have been glorious.
