This is a gorgeous guitar, and I absolutely love the inlay! One of my favorite albums; and one of my favorite album covers. The top laminate is very nice as well.

Blues for Allah ; On August 13, 1975 at : "The Great American Music Hall" located at 859 O'Farrell Street, in San Francisco , The Grateful Dead performed the tunes from this album for their record release celebration. I was lucky to have been there! ___ It was also the beginning of " Grateful Dead Records " The performance from that evening of music is now available as " One From The Vault " dead_head Junior Username: dead_head Post Number: 38 Registered: 12-2013 Posted on Friday, March 21, 2014 - 7:09 pm:    Congratulations Gary! What a beautiful instrument! I love all the little details you had put into it. It looks great with the "Blues For Allah" inlay. The Tribute body style is my absolute favorite. Enjoy it in good health! Rob pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1119 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2014 - 5:00 am:    The "BFG" is awesome.

When I was at Alembic dropping off my Stanley Clarke bass and seeing Stanley Clarke's actual bass, I also saw this Blues for Allah inlay in progress! A great memory for me, may this instrument create many wonderful memories for you! smuprof Advanced Member Username: smuprof Post Number: 229 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 23, 2014 - 3:21 pm:    Congratulations, Gary!

The medallion is spectacular and I love the figuring of the top. The dark streaks are very cool, lots of different textures going on. Enjoy! terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2184 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2014 - 4:35 am:    Lovely instrument, as usual top class workmanship but 27 pick up settings is just too much for me! I have enough trouble with two, two filters and Q's !! 5a_quilt_top Advanced Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 280 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2014 - 8:11 am:    I saw this piece in progress last August when I was at the mothership and I knew it was destined for something special. The medallion must be seen in person to appreciate all of the intricate detail and stunning craftsmanship. I was absolutely blown away by it and decided that when I commissioned my own Alembic guitar, it would have to have a medallion. Thanks for the inspiration and enjoy this spectacular piece for years to come! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5693 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2014 - 4:08 pm:    Beautiful guitar. Always loved the Fiddler. Enjoy! Bill, tgo cje Intermediate Member Username: cje Post Number: 148 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - 7:53 am:    It is truly beautiful. I'm sure you're over the moon! I've got a Garris litho of Fiddler hanging in my office. It is my favorite piece of Dead-related artwork, so I was thrilled to see it immortalized (again) on your fantastic guitar.
