I really like the meaty tone of the channel bridges.

Oooh, I'd like to see that sometime. I'll have to find our Upright Showcase thread and bump it back up.

So, if we find any takers for #76-564... that's a pretty unusual wood combination- top and back; Peroba Rosa, on a Koa core, new pickups in 1995, apparently a modern adjustable nut too. She needs some tlc, but don't they all?


*I'm not sure what the last channel-type bridge was, but #77-637 had one, and I think #77-640 probably did too. (no pictures, but the owner was having trouble breaking strings from squared-off saddles) There can't be many more after that. Lots of changes came that year. They had come a long way since #72-001 rolled out. Think about this a minute - by the end of 1978, just a year later, they had made another 624 instruments, and then some. That's a quantum leap for a guitar-maker, especially when you consider what they were building.

That's a lot of instruments in one year! Hard work done at high level! Just another year at Alembic :)
