crazy Alembic Guitar
« on: March 08, 2017, 04:21:35 AM »
Here is a crazy looking Alembic guitar.  Anyone know its history?  Looks like it is on display at the Museum of Sonoma County.

The guitar was made by Larry Robinson as a personal instrument on shop night when he worked at Alembic. I think he had something about it on his website at some point. The sign on the wall attributes it correctly, but with the logo on the peghead it's confusing.

Thanks, Mica.  The headstock reminds me of the guy on the cover of the Headhunters album...

Now the guitar makes sense.  Otherwise I was going to ask how in the hell did Susan say OK to THAT??
