I'd like to know that too as there's no custom options listed at all for the excel, except for the top lams and paint. |

So valvil, why isn't there a custom options page for the excel? Is it meant to be "less customizable" so it can be offered at a lower price? |

I would like to jump on that one and say that the Excel is entirely customizable (...he said with a snicker...). http://alembic.com/club/messages/631/13081.html?1096655030 Although the price reflects the customization appropriately. Still worth every penny, and then some. Adam

Mica could answer this one better than me since she is the one who mantains the site. With all the things she has on her list to do, it's likely that she just hasn't gotten around to it. The Excel is definitely customizable, sorry about the lack of an options page. Anyone is always welcome to call or e-mail with questions regarding any options they might be considering; it's kinda hard to keep all the possible options listed; we seem to add more and more of them, as we, and especially our customers, keep coming up with new ones.

jagerphan that bass is amazingly stunning. Vermillion, ebony and purpleheart in the neck-that is going to sound fat! |

Thanks Geddy! Rest assured, I can't wait for it to be finished. Even at this early stage, the amazing craftsmanship of the Alembic crew is clearly evident. I'm sure that once it is completed, its beauty in both appearance and sound will be a testament to the character of those who made it. |
