I've been saving 3 years, and I finally got myself an Alembic. A 1977 long scale, came with original paperwork, power supply, case etc. Its list of builders include Rick Turner, and Michael Dolan. I'm going to post some more pics of the guitar as soon as I can find camera's my memory card, but for now, heres a quick shot with my webcam. (its going to be backwards, its not a lefty guitar) 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 732 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - 6:58 pm:    Very, very nice Sam.

We are with you every time the insides and outsides let (make?) you do something that causes you to look down and wonder where that wonderful sound came from. dw jedisan Junior Username: jedisan Post Number: 16 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 8:51 am:    Hey Sam, congrats on the new instrument. I have a lot of respect for someone as yourself who has the patience to save for three years for your guitar, rather than simply use a credit card. Good job man! 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1397 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 10:34 am:    Beautiful! Congratulations! sjhoffma New Username: sjhoffma Post Number: 6 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 10:37 pm:    Thank you all! I couldn't be happier with it. I never imagined so many different beautiful sounds could all come out of the same instrument! This may be my first, but it certainly will not be my last pauldo Junior Username: pauldo Post Number: 50 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 3:55 pm:    Sam - that is on bad arse lookin' scream machine! I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for more pictures, something tells me that you have better things to do with your time then look for a stinking memory card. ;-) 82daion Intermediate Member Username: 82daion Post Number: 153 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2008 - 8:50 pm:    Sam, congratulations on a beautiful guitar, from another young Alembic owner! Hopefully it stays with you for a long time-play it in good health! hasadari Intermediate Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 199 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2008 - 7:30 am:    Contratulations! hasadari Intermediate Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 200 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2008 - 7:31 am:    Congratulations! hasadari Advanced Member Username: hasadari Post Number: 201 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2008 - 7:31 am:    Congratulations!
