Welcome to the club, Rick! I’m just a bit up the road in Orinda, and also a Further owner, along with a few other Alembics and guitars sporting Alembic electronics. I assume your Further is a recent acquisition? Be warned, these instruments have a high potential for addiction! Enjoy it, and don’t be shy to ask any questions around here. Though most of the active members play bass, there are a few of us skinny 6 stringers too. Have you visited the Mothership up in Santa Rosa yet? If not, it is well worth the drive north. You can arrange a factory tour, and they will literally treat you like family. Also, we LOVE to see pics of Alembics. You can post them over in the Showcase section, if you are so inclined.
