I wanted that spacing of woods when I was ordering but couldn't get it done. The varying sizes really make it look classy. keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 766 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, March 11, 2006 - 9:06 am:    she's a cute Little focker! bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 663 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Saturday, March 11, 2006 - 10:38 am:    'Welded palladium contacts' in the side jack . . . why do I always worry that NASA flights get postponed because Ron's parts order was shipped first?!?!

I would have bought it for my wife if she played guitar. I would have bought it for myself if I hadn't just bought a Tribute. jalevinemd Advanced Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 355 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 10:53 am:    I want a bumper sticker that reads...

I got to see one when I visited the workshop last June, and was actually very surprised by how small it was, having only seen pictures before. I'd be interested to see if the same shape could be done in a larger size. jalevinemd Advanced Member Username: jalevinemd Post Number: 361 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 9:02 am:    James, My "Little Bear" was the first Darling. The guitar Alembic is currently making for me will pretty much be what you said...a much larger Darling. Wait and see! tom_z Advanced Member Username: tom_z Post Number: 310 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 9:10 am:    "I'd be interested to see if the same shape could be done in a larger size." I've often thought the same thing. Jonathan, I'm looking forward to the development of your new project.

Look forward to seeing it come together. hydrargyrum Intermediate Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 187 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 - 6:38 am:    Wow, I can't believe I missed this until now. I don't see it listed on the price list though. Does anyone happen to know what Alembic lists these for? valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 865 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 - 3:21 pm:    Sticker price on a 6 string (either medium or long scale) Darling is 5800$ plus case.
