Hi everybody, Here is my "new" custom series guitar.   Serial # is 02C12839. I'll try to get some better pics soon, if I can stop playing it long enough. Check out the Featured Custom archive for more details. Thanks to the artists who worked on this masterpiece and everyone else at Alembic! ~Dan | ||

Dan - that's an awesome guitar! Congratulations. I'd love to hear how it compares to your Skylark. Tom | ||

Thanks Dave. It is even better in person because the color is much darker purple than in the pics. Tom, It is a completely different beast from my Skylark. The scale is 25.5" and neck is wide and very thin. The sound is fantastic! I love the sound of the Skylark, but the Series II electronics have such a great sound with a rounder, less squishy bass response (the tone block probably has a lot to do with that). I don't think I'll ever let go of this guitar. I love it! Thanks, Dan | ||

I looked here because I saw "PLUM PUDDIN'" and I'm on a serious diet. I didn't see any pudding but the GUitar looks great. I usually not too fond of the color versions but I like this one. I bet it looks even better in person. Congrats MAN! | ||

That's not a color, that's natural wood. Valentino | ||

Natural wood?! That explains why it looks so good. That is amazing. | ||

I checked it out on the featured cutom list. I think it looks better now. Either aging has changed it or it could be the photos here represent the true color better. Eitehr way it look great! | ||

What a superb looking instrument!! I'm really trying to find out the effects of these different woods on the tone of an instrument----especially basses Can anyone give me a run down without it involving an honours degree in rocket science???????? | ||

Oh right, Bill, I failed to make the connection because the colors are so much more intense here. I do remember I listened to the sound of a series guitar when I visited the Alembic shop in 1996, but I cannot remember what it sounds like. Are there any sound examples somewhere? Hartmut | ||
