However, I did get to play an outrageous Further at Alembic. Whoever is getting it will be very very very very very happy!

Scott Law, (see "Owl" in the COTM archives), got to play Wolf at a P&F show at Red Rocks. Phil announced on his web site that Wolf had been donated to his Unbroken Chain foundation. I wonder how it wound up with DSO, or if the DSO Wolf is even the real Wolf. As for the ebay listing BEWARE. The description is lifted directly from Phil Gawen's Phiga site, including the options! "top black ebony or quilted maple, cr/bl binding, eagle/moon or just the eagle" Also, the description decribes the woods used in the "Wolf inlay", yet the pictures show no such inlay. I have a Phiga Casta, a picture of which is on the Phiga site. Phil makes nice instruments, but there in no comparison to Alembic.

I usually take a peak through the window, if he's playing Owl - I am in there. Last night he had his acoustic, so I got some rest. Owl is absolutely amzing sounding, I was in total disbelief of the acoustic tones that were coming out of it. pace Advanced Member Username: pace Post Number: 263 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 21, 2006 - 4:21 pm:    The seller's location is South Windsor CT, and he also has some Telefunken stuff listed as well.... I think he might be someone I know or someone he works with.... Im gonna say it's legit, if not it would only take a couple of phone calls.... zappahead Intermediate Member Username: zappahead Post Number: 134 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Saturday, October 21, 2006 - 9:07 pm:    Phil has quite a few Tigers, Bolts and Wolf's for sale on his site. If anyone wants one I would go directly through him. I have a couple of his guitars but Im not sure Id drop 2-3k+ on his work. Hes talented but to say hes flaky would be an understatement.
