That really is spectacular. I can only imagine what it must be like to actually hold. What it must sound like! WOW!

Everyone,

Thank you for the great comments and well wishes! Also, a HUGE public thank you to everyone at Alembic for making this one-of-a-kind instrument for my family and I.

The journey has been wonderful, and it would have been a shame if I didn't document it? so I did. I didn't want to forget the trip, so I decided to blog about it. I first want to apologize to all of you in the Alembic community for limiting the blog to family and close friends. Once it was clear that the guitar was going to get the FC treatment, a decision was made to keep the guitar under wraps until the big unveiling.

Now the shroud is lifted, and I'd like to present to you all the journey of Diamond-Eyed Jack! For those that have gone through a custom build, I'm sure to be treading on familiar territory. And even if you haven't chosen that particular road to get here, I'm confident you'll have a blast!

Please enjoy the read, comment if you are so inclined, and share with anyone you think would be interested!

And yes, rami - 'wow' would be one word used to describe the sound!

Just read your blogs about the build and your decisions along the way. Very interesting. Also some great stories and insight into the amazing family that crafts these incredible instruments for us to enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

When I had my Elan built, after talking thru it with Susan and Will Gunn (both the BEST!), I told Susan I wanted it tinted green 'about halfway between Hunter Green and a BP sign'. No color swatches, nothing, just that idea.

I decided to not ever call them. Just see it when it was done. Without my knowledge, they shot it the first time, decided it wasn't what I implied, stripped it and started over, completely on their own. When I got it about a year after order, yes, it was EXACTLY the color I had in mind.

THAT's Alembic.
