Had a great time hanging out with Valentino today. I got a chance to see some really cool instruments and as always a nice visit with all the good folks at Alembic. You will notice James working on a special project this is how they create magic at Alembic! Rory

Oh, my goodness!

Look at the inlays on the triple-O!

And what kind of wood is that on the Skylark???

And Bill, there's your Further behind the amazing 12-string redwood monster!

Great pics, Rory!

P.S.
Are the ladies back from their trip yet?

There's a Kit guitar!

Rory:

Great pictures. Especially the second one up. I really like the guitar hanging behind the bass that's in front. The one where you can see the Scales of Justice inlay. hehehehehehe

It's also comforting to know the place hasn't gone to hell in a hand basket with all the women folk out of town.

Bill, tgo

I wonder how I can convice my wife to take a weeks vacation and head west so I can sneak in a visit to THE SHOP. To bad Dooney & Burke doesn't have a plant next door to Alembic. (SIGH)

I really like your inlays, great job! The women are out of the shop and you can tell. It is like someone has open the door to freedom. Even Ron was smiling! I must admit though it was kind of strange not having Susan in her office on the phone or Mary offering coffee or Mica in her office at the computer.
Olie, there is a Coach outlet right down the road along with Saks Fith Ave. Just a thought!

It's great wine country, too!

Thanks for the pix Rory! Us right coaster's have to live vicariously through the locals who can visit the mothership and bring us great pix like these. BTW, It's good to have you back here where you most certainly belong.

Cheers,

Kevin

P.S., What's up with that non-Alembic EUB? Is that a NSD?

Thanks for the pics Rory!

Im guessing that's Val w/ your Counting Crow's fretless.... nice bass!!!!

WHAT'S THE TOP ON THAT SKYLARK?!?!?!??!
(if that's Zebrawood, it's a sick piece)

OK, so what's the powder BLUE one and what about that Steinberger upright?

There's an FTC thread on the powder blue Spoiler - set neck, and - if memory serves me right - with the backplate to be mounted on the top.
