Ain't she a beaut: Here's the info on her: History Bill, tgo southpaw Intermediate Member Username: southpaw Post Number: 155 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 6:33 pm:    Congrats Bill, she's a beauty. St. Pat's Day is a major holiday around my house too! I bet Danny Boy would sound great on a 12 string. Congrats again, many happy hours together. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 4889 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 7:34 pm:    Yes, she's a beauty! Nice price too! 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 544 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 7:40 pm:    Quite a nice buy, too. Series I six and 12-string guitars. Very nice. Is a Series I/II bass far behind? lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2211 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, March 19, 2007 - 5:55 am:    David: As my wife would be quick to second, a Series bass is VERY far behind at this point. I'll probably pick one up just about the same time as Bush disbands the military and legalizes drugs, cloning, stem cell research, gay marriage, and offers free abortions! I'm real excited about this one - looking forward to bringing it to the Northern Cali get together in two weeks (I should have it by then, I hope).

I have yet to see an Alembic guitar in the wild. I would love to hear one live before my time comes. tbrannon Advanced Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 336 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, March 19, 2007 - 9:54 am:    That's one heck of a headstock! It's hard to tell from the picture, but I'm guessing that the bridge has individual saddles for each string? Should make cleaning the bridge that much more fun..... =) Lovely guitar- I saw this one on eBay and also posted here on the forum and I thought you'd probably enjoy it a fair bit more than the Fender 12 you have.
