Hi Rob,

Yes, I recently purchased this nice guitar...I guess we know who made me do it!

Congrats on a nice guitar Rob... you've got quite a family of middle-aged Alembics going there.    

(#265 is still my favorite!) 

[rv_bass]

Thanks, Greg, the middle-aged group is a good group, I like the classics!  (...I like 265 as well)

Three bronze markers at the 12th fret on this one, wonder how common that was/is?

[rv_bass]

A fantastic guitar!

Such a cool old guitar... Peruvian walnut - only a few of those listed as such. 

*I'm absolutely sure I have seen the triple-marked 12th and 24th frets before. But I could swear it was a fretless bass.

After a little bit over a year in my care, #78-1116 is headed back to Rob. I've enjoyed every minute spent with this Peruvian Walnut Series I Classic.

It's a very special instrument that helped me image what an Alembic guitar can do. I'll always have that audio image.

For posterity:

My goodness.

Thanks for taking such good care of it and providing the opportunity for it to make its way back to me, looking forward to playing it again!
