I'd do it if I could, but I'm off tomorrow morning for NYC until Thurs night for family stuff (and a Wed. night jam with Jeff Flaxman) and that's about all the time I can take off this month. Knock on wood, I've never had a problem with a shipped guitar. The seller has good feedback on packing and shipping. He even requested that I send him an address label already filled out, so I know the address will be correct. Of course I'll breath easier once it arrives safe & sound.

Bill, tgo

I just drove up from Los Angeles. I was visiting my daughter at UCLA had I only known. I had my Alembic with me as well doing some studio work with a friend. I could have brought yours back with me. Anyway congrats on your new Alembic invite me by sometime to hear it and your group!

Bill,

Did the guitar arrive today? I'm living vicariously through you right now, brother. I really want a 70's Series I, but only in as good a condition as yours looks. I'm happy to have my Alembic collection grow with future models, but it'd be nice to have a prime example of their past as well.

Jealous,

Jonathan

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!! Oh, the joys of self-employment. My wife called this morning to tell me it had arrived. I had one client coming in for an appointment and then straight home. Opened the box, spilled styro peanuts all over the place, and VOILA! Even nicer than I could have possibly dreamed! This was my holy grail of guitars for the last 30+ years! The only object I've ever lusted after longer is a Jaguar E-Type (which I'll get one of these days). I'll have pics up in Showcase in a few minutes. WOW!!!!!! Now I can't wait for rehearsal on Thursday night. And, of course, this calls for a visit back home to Alembic in the very near future.

Bill, tgo/ocn (on cloud nine)
