This will be live to the world in a little while, and just a touch earlier here on the Alembic Club. I hope you enjoy reading Diamond-Eyed Jack as much as we did building it. Enjoy!

Holy cow!  How can Alembic keep topping itself time and time again?  What a magnificent  heirloom instrument.  I yam gobsmacked, I yam.

I think I'm in shock.  That's an absolutely unbelievable instrument.  Congratulations, to one and all!
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

I almost forgot to post the back-view picture for Pauldo:
 

 
Thank you for all the kind words. I am glad there are others out there that understand our particular madness.

This is a wonderful guitar.  We say that kind of thing often here, but I was really struck by this instrument.  I think the picture that really put the whole thing in focus for me was the one centered on the D.E. Jack nameplate inlay; that's when I realized that the whole guitar was just really wonderful.

Another grand slam home run by Alembic!  The purpleheart/ebony neck is a stunning combo.  And the fret markers are very unique and creative.  Love it!
 
Bill, tgo

Thank Mica!
The backside shows the unadulterated, pure, beauty of the fundamental being of the instrument.
 
The warm soft curves that call for a hand to caress them, leading ones eyes up to the pure gently tapered neck crowned with a regal shape. No distraction of strings and knobs, just beautifully shaped wood.
