Orion Guitar For Sale

I've had this guitar for 3 days now.  I feel like it's the first time that I've actually heard my electric guitar.  All notes are equally represented across the entire fretboard.  Coolest of all, I can hear every note of every chord, even those with open strings.  It's clearer than an acoustic guitar!  It's hard to fathom how different this guitar is from all other electric guitars.

Nice collection of alembics there. I have to agree with your choice of Mesa boogie for bass rig. When I first got my orion It took me a couple of weeks of regular playing to get used to the string spacing and slightly narrower neck width.
 
I had a look at the nut measurements for both the orion and the strat I'm used to playing and there is not much difference on paper but in the playing that small amoung seems to make a big difference.
 
Awesome guitar.

Jazzyvee:
 
I know exactly what you mean.  I contemplating selling my Electrum as the string spacing is just a little too narrow.  I brought my '61 strat to the factory and had them copy the neck for my in-progress Further.
 
 
Paul:
 
Nice line up.  I'll bet you're having a LOT of fun.  Alembic guitars really are a different animal, but if you appreciate clean sound and incredible presence, there is nother like them.
 
Bill, tgo

Paul,
 
Glad to see the Orion safe and sound. It's strange, though, to see pictures of it in different surroundings. Enjoy it in good health.
 
Regards,
