Custom quote maker and April special!
« on: April 16, 2020, 04:14:57 PM »
Hi all, I hope everyone is safe and healthy during these tough times. Music has been one of the only things holding my family together; I hope people have been having some rockin home jams!

I've been dreaming over somehow getting my hands on a further guitar for quite a while now, and I've just come across this incredible April special! The offer seems almost too good to be true, so with that I have a couple questions I was hoping the forums could help me out with. I suspect many of these questions could be answered by the custom quote maker on the website, but the link does not seem to be working for me. Does anyone know how I can get to that page?

With that said, I know the starting "no charge" option for the further is now $1850, but what does that number actually encompass? Does that mean you could get a further with standard woods, electronics, and everything else for $1850, or does each individual component still add it's own cost (for example, standard single coil + double humbuckers  adding $1300 to the base $1850)? If every component still adds its own cost, how much would the most basic custom model end up being?

I'll save my other questions in case I can get the quote maker working so I don't have to make people spend too much time tapping away at the screen. I would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance--thank you to everyone in advance! :)

Hi Lilet and welcome to the club.  Unfortunately I believe I am about to rain on your parade.  The base price for a new Further is $18,500.00, not $1850.00.   The April special includes $1850.00 worth of upgrades without charge.  In addition, the April special includes LEDs and inlaid logo at no charge - these are regularly $2350.00 upgrades.  Though it doesn’t seem to appear on the price list, Alembic also makes a “Stage Further” with slightly less fancy appointments and a 5-way blade switch (like on a Strat) instead of the three 3-way mini switches to select pickups.   You can call Alembic for a price on the Stage model.   Furthers are great guitars.  Here’s mine:

Ah that makes much more sense, thank you!! I feel quite silly for thinking I was gonna get away with a couple grand for masterpiece of an alembic, but oh well! I'll keep dreaming! Your guitar is totally rad by the way  8)

Thanks so much for the reply! Wish everyone well
