Title: September COTM: Charles' Dragonfly... WOW!!!
Post by: the_8_string_king on September 05, 2007, 08:15:32 PM: Congratulations, Charles, on having your Masterpiece selected for COTM! It's a stunning and truly exceptional Alembic, and an inspiration!

Your neck -and the neck of Thunder and Lightning made an impression on me, and certainly were influential in my selecting my neck laminates on my new custom 6-string... especially the outer Mahogany neck laminates.

Congratulations again on an incredibly unique and stunning masterpiece, and on it receiving well-deserved recognition as the COTM!

Starting in the upper register and working my way down came very close to blowing some drivers! Looks, tone and excellent playability! Charles bugged the hell out of them on this one to get it right for him. Cheers Charles!!
