Have all the Kit Guitars been sold? I was also wondering if anyone here has one and what kind of details can you give on how  your Kit plays, sounds, etc. Thanks.

The kit guitars are still available. We have one made and another one almost finished.
I doubt anyone has 'em, but I've played the one that's done. Very fast, sweet sounding (bright, like pretty much all Alembic guitars), fairly similar to a Skylark.

Hey Bill and Val. I must have overlooked the Kit in the showroom. I looked through today and for some reason I did not see it and thought it was gone. I think these would really be special instruments to have; of course, as are all Alembics. I like the history on them.

It's interesting to see that THG was able to cut hat/Raytheon knobs!!!  They're my favorite knobs of all time.
 
The original brass pickguard sounds really cool even if it would only look shiny for a little while.
