Hey, that's another 3/4 size Spoiler. Interesting to see the grain through the flame figuring - nice!

Mark:

Really nice top! Welcome to the club and play it in good health.

That's some crazy figuring on that top. I bet it looks even better in person. Best wishes.

WOW ! There she is... absolutely breathtaking beauty, Mark. Lucky me that you sent the pictures to Art, I would have gotten blind

cheers from Germany, from my Spoiler Bridget also

First Alembics are the BEST! Then you decide...I wonder what another one would sound like...

Congratulations, that's a looker for sure!

Mark -

Congrats! That is one beautiful Spoiler. Good luck resisting the urge to want more Alembics.

Welcome to the club.

Thank you guys, It arrived early (this afternoon; I am in the UK) and I have been playing it non-stop. It feels odd having such a narrow neck, after all my Precisions (I have four of them!), but I'm finding it very easy for fingerstyle and the tonal range is superb. The quilt top is every bit as nice as it looks in these pics too! Very pleased :-)

Congratulations on that timely (early, instead of Friday) arrival

Play it Healthy! Art

Very cool indeed, your first Alembic is definitely in the same league of special as other firsts.

Congrats & enjoy! Wilfred
