That one is in my top-ten all-time favorite list. Alas, if there is to be another Alembic guitar for Ed... it'll be the one they ain't built yet. It will have a couple features this guitar has though!

What are the controls on that guitar? Looks great.

Wow!  If that’s what’s on the way out, there must be something really special on the way in!   Good luck with the transactions.

Bill, tgo

Controls are master volume with low pass filter for each pickup.

Spoilers!

I was drooling over this one earlier today.  I love the body shape.  It strikes me as about halfway between a Stanley and a Distillate.

Kept it :)

This is essentially a Further with a custom body shape and wood recipe, a fantastic guitar.

Putting this one back up.  As beautiful as this guitar is, the neck is too narrow for me (I’m used to bass size necks). Please email me if interested.  Thanks.

Congrats on the sale, Rob.   An absolutely stunning guitar, but if the neck doesn’t work for you, it would never make you happy.   I lusted for a Ricky 360/12 for years.   Finally got one.  Fireburst, gorgeous, sounded like jangle heaven.   But the neck was too narrow.  I could play chords, but not clean arpeggios.   Reluctantly sold it.  Same for a Phiga Casta I bought.  It had a baseball bat neck that just wasn’t right for me … I prefer thinner necks.  Wound up trading it.   I’m sure the buyer will be quite pleased.

Bill, tgo
