There is a great but very long story about this guitar. I won't go into all the details yet, but let you know that the guitar is fully documented, with a hand written letter to me from Mr. Betts. He was kind enough to sign the back plate as well. The photo of Greg and Dickey was taken prior to the guitars completion some time in 1973. This is the 94th. guitar the Alembic ever made. More to come in another thread. [moderator's edit: image layout] (Message edited by artswork99 on April 12, 2011) |
