"Silicon Valley" Alembic Sighting

It's fun when you spot an Alembic on TV! I have noticed it before, but this time I remembered to snap a screenshot of the Persuader in Richard Hendrix's lawyer's office from the HBO show "Silicon Valley.

In the old HBO comedy “Arliss”, one of the main characters always had a guitar in his office.  But the guitar changed from episode to episode.   I suspected the producer was a player/collector who could buy a new guitar for each show and write them all off as a business expense.

In _Memphis Beat_, Jason Lee was a detective who played gigs after solving crimes; had a different wonderful guitar every show.

I seem to recall seeing an Alembic in season 1.
