Title: Custom Orion idea
Post by: Russ Carreiro (zappahead) on November 19, 2002, 06:20:22 PM

Ive been carousing the site for some time now, drooling over these guitars. Ive always liked Alembics. Heres my idea:
 
An Orion guitar that is simliar to the one in this custom of the month

I also like the headstock idea that this guy had on the spectrum

I also am very impressed with the burled buckeye that you had in that excellent series 1 bass.
 
Would it be possible get that wood on an Orion with the Roland PU and utilize a matching headstock like that guy with the Spectrum Baritone I posted the link to?

Hi, Russ!  My sweetie, Cyndy, is a Carreiro, born and raised in Hartford, CT!  (And FZ has been a significant influence on MY life, so, hi!)  My Alembic will be a 23.5 with single coils.  Oughta be the greatest thing since Thai iced tea.  Good luck with yours!

Er...what I MEANT to say was, my Alembic will be a 23.5-scale Skylark with single coils!  That oughta teach me to post while I should be working.  (No, it won't.)

That sounds like a great guitar. I like the Skylark a lot too. Thats funny what you said about your wife (or GF), I have an Aunt named Cyndy. She doesnt live in CT, but she spends all her spare change at Foxwoods, so I guess thats close enough. ;)
