Hey there. I bought my first Alembic a few months ago, a 77 series 1, and Im already dying for another! Im looking for a newer, more inexpensive Alembic than my series. I really like the orion and spectrum models, and also the skylark, electrum and California special. If anyone out there has a guitar thats just taking up space, sitting on a stand or in a case in a closet, please write me with some details about the guitar. I have a feeling im getting a strong case of alembic acquisition  syndrome  I know all you out there can understand!

I know what you feel sjhoffma, i bought my alembic orion guitar in 2005 and its an incredible sounding guitar. I'd really like to get hold of a series guitar in the sc body shape so I'm resisting all others.
 
I upgraded mine to have a filter and 3 position q-switch and it's really opened up the sound.  
 
I hope you find one.  
I will be jealous when you do... :-)

Yeah, the series 1 electronics really opened up a world of possibilities for me, and unfortunately i sold the majority of my guitars to get it... I had no problem making the sacrifice, but now I have no number 2 guitar to have around as backup. Thanks for the support, I hope I find one too, it will be nice having 2 beautiful alembics on stage with me ;)
