Congrats Sam!!!!! As far as I'm concerned, you never left.... If I didn't already have a series guitar, this would've been the one back when Glenn first listed it..... That said, I wish Glenn the best of luck in finding a comfy guitar~ my wife suffers from CTS too, so l can only imagine the frustration.

Will be shipped out on Monday. Should be here by mid week!

I'm pleased to say that Sam will be giving the Series I a loving home. I'll be sending it off 1st thing Monday.
As for a lighter instrument, I've been thinking maybe a Parker Fly, or a thin hollowbody. I tried a friend's Holdsworth HF2, it can't be more than 6 lbs, it's hollow with a small body and compact headstock. I'd prefer the HF2S, 'cause I've been considering getting into synthesizer, and that has the Shadow p-up with synth access.
And thanks Pace for your good wishes- this CTS can be very discouraging at times. BUT...I've found a great book Ending Carpal Tunnel Pain Without Surgery by Dr. Kate Montgomery, and the daily excercise / warm-up routine are a godsend.
I will miss being an Alembic player, but at least keeping the CTS at bay, I'm still playing.
Enjoy your new instrument Sam!!

She arrived at my door this morning, on time, and safely packed! I didn't have much time to play her before heading off to work, but I did manage to plug in for a few minutes and snap a few photos. I will be adding a thread to the "showcase" section later in the week with more detailed shots, but for those of you who are curious, here are some shots to hold you over! Thanks again Glenn, you were a pleasure to deal with, and I wish you much luck and happiness in the future!

I was on the road for the last month. Just got back. Checking out the pictures Sam posted. You got some real nice shots, great angles. It was a pleasure doing the transaction with you. May you have many years of pleasure with this guitar. I miss it, but due to the circumstances of C.T.S. I wasn't playing it. And this instrument deserves to be played. Thanks again Sam. By the way...I've ordered a Carvin HF2S in antique brown finish. It weighs in at about 6.5lbs. So now I have an excuse to buy a guitar synth too! Next to C.T.S., G.A.S. is a pleasure!
