ive got sperzels and they work great i love em, and i think there just pretty, but in gold they would be sweet! i have black ones on my parker fly, and that thing stays in tune like nobodys business, i mean i hit the whammy full force and the thing always stays in tune, so ill stick with my sperzels, although those grovers look nice!

To each his own...I know the Sperzels work fine, but the look, especially the satin/matte finishes don't match a lot of guitar hardware out there, including Alembic's. Just my $0.02.
 
That Stew-Mac site has lots of machines (as well as lots of other good stuff - the luthier's haven, as it were). Planet Waves makes a similar machine that cuts the string as well as locks it.

Here's the piece Chip selected for your guitar:
 

 
Arranged like this, it shows similar character to Little Bear. Flipping it around so the the left edge would be the bottom of the guitar would look different, but catch some nice stuff too.

Dude, if you don't take this piece, I will! Sexy, almost erotic, radiating waves of Coco Bolo.......what a great top this will make. Wow....

Correction: there is 'much' money to be made above the fifth fret....

I actually think it's incredible how similar this top would be to my Little Bear.

Yep ...this is my favourite headstock (in basses) I think. Can you imagine a 6 string bass with a 4/2 tuners set-up?
Would be wild! Anyway has always been part of my dream!
