Hi, Glenn; are you trying to send the pix to Dave as an attachment? I've never been able to get that to work; I send them in the text of the e-mail: right click on picture > Copy picture > paste to e-mail.

Peter (No, no thanks necessary - just send me the guitar )

I remember when Glen previously listed this guitar on the forum a couple of years ago. I thought at the time that it had quietly been passed on to a new owner, but surprisingly, no.

So, here is someone's chance to own a beautiful standard-point S1 guitar !!!!!!!

Good luck with the sale, Glen!

emailing you now Glenn!

Cozmic_cowboy...Thanks for the info.I'll try to send the pics that way.

Pace..I did think about selling it a couple of years ago.It ended up that I could afford to keep it. But now I've got problems with CTS(carpal tunnel syndrome),so playing such a heavy instrument agravates the condition.I'm keeping it at bay with a regimen of excercises by Dr.Kate Montgomery.I think the CTS came on just due to age, I've played heavy instruments for over 35 years without any problems(Hagstrom Swede,Alembic,Les Pauls etc.).Since I can no longer play a heavy guitar I'm selling the Series I,it's a guitar that deserves to be played!I'll soon be in the market for a lighter and probably more ergonomic guitar.I am hoping to find it a good owner here at the Alembic forum.

Glenn:

Looking for a light guitar? Interested in a trade? I have 2 or 3 you might be interested in.

Bill, tgo

Orions are a good light guitars ir you are looking to stay in the family. May be worth a look after you have sold the series guitar.

Jazzyvee;
I'm thinking I'll have to go lighter than an Orion. Their weight is about 8lbs. Right now I'm using a Steinberger licensed Hohner for playing live. I definately need to upgrade. Because of that friggin' CTS, i'm thiking of something more ergonomic. There's a fellow in Ontario, Seppo Valjakka from Frankinstein Guitar Works who quoted me a very reasonable price for a klein clone, w/set neck in place of a bolt on. I really have to give some thought to my needs right now. Maybe a small hollowbody?

Glenn:

Howzabout a Parker Fly? Lightest guitar I ever played and very ergonomic. I also have a Scott Walker Surelight which is more Alembic-like and just a little heavier, and a Resurrection copy of Trey's Langanduc that's fairly light. Any interest (of course with a +$ from my end)?

Bill, tgo

I am currently attempting to buy this beautiful Series Guitar for myself as a Graduation Present. (long time coming!)

Will know by the end of the week whether or not I can set aside the funds, but as of now its looking good. I know there are a few others out there interested in this guitar, I just thought I would let them know where I was at to be fair.

Sale Pending! Haven't been this excited about a new instrument in a long time! Although I never left at heart, its going to feel good to be back in the club again! Will be back to post photos after It comes!

Congrats Sam! Good to see it staying in the club. And, of course, looking forward to pics!

Bill, tgo
