(x) 96W9840 Left Handed Epic 4 string
« on: April 25, 2017, 02:21:53 AM »
Hey there. I recently bought a second-hand Alembic Epic 4 string (left handed), and I am loving it! It’s an amazing, amazing instrument. I would love any and all available information on when it was built, materials used, electronics configuration, etc.

Thanks!

I love the look of Wenge, had no idea your entire top was "skinned" with it... beautiful.... I'm a bit jealous!  ;D
