Mike:

I stopped off at the factory when I got out of court early in Santa Rosa yesterday. The Skylark is indeed Zebrawood - and an extremely exceptional piece, IMHO. I got to play it yesterday. Very bright guitar and absolutely gorgeous.

Bill, tgo

Ah, didn't one club member recently acquire an NSD EUB?

So this wouldn't be his, judging by his post here.

The NSD belongs to a friend who had us do a bit of maintenance to it. He wanted to have finish on the fingerboard because he frets pretty hard and he had worn deep grooves in it. So we sanded it down and put some finish on it; usually, we do not work on other manufacturers' instruments. Since the owner is a friend of one of our guys we made an exception in this case.

The Zebrawood Skylark is going to be for sale at Guitar Resurrection in Austin within a few days; as Bill said, an exceptional guitar.

Rory, it's nice to hear from you again, and the pictures are awesome -especially the Zebrawood skylark.

Hope all is well, and hope you're not selling all your Alembics -that would be a terrible shame.

Hey Guys

I am glad you enjoyed the pictures. It was nice to see all the instruments in different forms of transition.
Val is the go between for the new owner of the fretless Series II. Val agreed to put it through its paces for the new owner. If you look very close you will see Val execute his favorite Jaco lick. If you blink you will miss it!
My favorite bass is my Series I four string and it ain't going no where! I will miss my other basses but the fact is they were not getting played and I much rather see them go to players than sit in my house and collect dust. I know the new owners will enjoy them as much as I enjoy my Series I.

I still have two Alembics so life is good. I tried to get up to Reno to see you but there were schedule conflicts so I could not make it. I thought I would surprise you and old number 12. Take care!

I'll be @ the Eldorado Hotel/Casino this weekend in the 'cabaret room' the 8th 9th 10th Reno,...so if any alembicians happens to be in the area stop in & dance to the alembic! http://musicole.tripod.com/id11.html

Val, whenever you go on vacation . . . can I come out and fill in while you're gone and test drive all the axes before they go out the back door, keep things moving 'till you return?

I work REAL cheap and do a pretty good Italian accent!
