Mica will Alembic ever make acoustic basses and guitars?

About the only tool we have in our shop to build acoustics is sandpaper. Of course as luthiers we dream of making all kinds of stringed instruments. We'd basically need a completely different shop. So, no immediate plans, but who knows about someday?

I remember being in a grocery store in the mid-'70s and seeing a display of bottles of Elvis wine. There was a pic of The King on the label, and a little poem on the back label, written by The Colonel (!!), and a note to the effect that, Elvis didn't drink wine, but if he HAD, this would've been the wine he would have drunk. (The irony speaks for itself, eh?) Well, Alembic doesn't make acoustic guitars, but if they DID, these might be the guitars they'd make. Check 'em out: www.moonstoneguitars.com

I love Moonstone guitars, and Steve is an absolutely amazing person. You should spend your acoustic guitar budget with him.

Funny ...together with that first ad of Alembic I founf in an old Guitarplayer about 20 years ago, I also found ads of Moonstone. I loved them too immediately
