New to the board

Hi All - just a quick intro (appropriate since I just posted a wanted ad!). I've owned several new and old Alembic guitars over the years. Currently have a new Coco Spectrum from Eddie's and have the fabled first zebra wood Skylark on it's way from California! I poke around here often for info, but have never posted before.

Welcome, Steve, sounds like you have some nice guitars.  I’m sure Bill TGO will be happy there’s another guitar guy around!   There was an Orion guitar on Reverb for awhile, dropped off about a month ago I think, so maybe it will appear again.  I see them show up on there now and then.

Hi Steve.  Welcome to the club.  It’s always nice to have another skinny-stringer hanging around here as it’s usually fairly bass heavy.   A Cocobolo Spectrum sounds sweet!  We love pics around here (hint, hint).

Bill, tgo (the guitar one)

Bill, the basses really aren’t that heavy

Welcome to our corner of the world!

Thanks for the welcome - I'll post up the Spectrum tomorrow... it's gorgeous with a neck that is indescribably perfect!

Welcome to the board, l love spectrum guitars in fact i looked for a used one for years before settling on an orion guitar that i upgraded with a set of filter based electronics. I look forward to seeing your guitars.

Very nice! I'm one of those who plays the heavy versions of Alembics so forgive my ignorance. Would your Spectrum happen to have a cocobolo backside? If it does we have to see it that too.

Adding my belated Welcome to the Alembic Club, Steve. Man, that's a sweet guitar. I ain't much of a guitar player, and when I do play guitar it's mostly old beat-up Martin guitars, but I can surely appreciate that one.

Nice guitar!

I have an old Series I guitar.  I also have an unused set of electronics like you have in your Spectrum, just waiting for the right recipient guitar body to come along for installation.

Gotta love Alembic Guitars!

The backside is mahogany - not coco, but not bad either!!

I owned an old Series I previously... serious instrument! Mine was in very nice cosmetic condition, but it was very heavy as I recall.

I put a set of 3 single coils with electronics into a strat a few years ago... the electronics came out of a real obscure Gibson shredder type guitar from the 80's. I eventually wound up pulling the electronics and selling them and the strat separately, but I think there's an old youtube demo out there somewhere with that daphine blue strat!
