Hi Mica,

That was great...very interesting and instructive.
I really enjoyed brief tour of Alembic factory, and recognized how you build custom basses and guitars.
Thanks for sharing, Mica.

yes the video was just a treat,what else can you say. i just visited the factory in july and it was like being there again(except that i couldnt play one for a bit of fun).great presentation mica,very much. i'm glad that you mentioned that was a ziricote stanley clarke. whats the story behind ziricote? its an expensive top that no one really chats about. can you fill us in on where its from and tonal characteristics. always been curious about this pretty brown wood

That was a lot of fun, thanks for sharing it. And Mica, I hope neither you MR. Thomas minds me saying, you're quite a cutie-pie! Great presence and charisma!

Oh, and I also should be added to the list of people that are curious about Ziricote.

Okay, fess up - who's the wise guy specifying nut width in inches, and bridge width in millimeters?

Very classy production, great performances all around.

That was great to see. BTW, is Stephen J the same as Steve Jay who plays bass with Weird Al?

Terrific speaking voice, kid . . . if this guitar bidness doesn't work out (!), you should do voice overs or be on radio. Your voice is so very pleasant. Here's to ya, cutie pie, you've always been a star to me ! !

Chuck, just think: If this had been shot at Gibson, you could now be PLAYING a blooper!

Although nothing on tonal characteristics, there is some info on Ziricote here, with lots of nice photos.
