It seems too clean for the Blues & Jazz I like. I love gritty tones from solid body guitars with hum-buckers. Any solid examples for blues or Jazz on an Alembic guitar? serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 537 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - 10:44 am:    Hey there's nothing wrong with what one likes, i happen to like Full figured women as apposed to skinny girls!.............it's about what ever turns U on! benson_murrensun Intermediate Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 172 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - 10:54 am:    Yeah, I prefer Betty Boop to Olive Oyl any day. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1704 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - 11:18 am:    I'd like to find some music recorded with Alembic guitars. I love a clean sound on guitar and alembic gives me that whether its at the bright or mellow end of their range. I have had difficulty in getting a good over driven/gritty sound on my Orion guitar using a pedal but with a tube amp it's much better. With my series I guitar I can get a great variety of overdriven/crunch sounds using my old Proco Rat Pedal or a valve amp. It's horses for courses really. If I was doing a gig where I needed a gritty sound for most of the set I'd pick my Strat and not my Alembic guitar.

Or an Ibanez Tube Screamer ? Over drive with compression is interesting too. Sorry ,___ I am just thinking out loud again .

King has an ES-335 with Series II innards, if memory serves... Couldn't tell you what he may have played it on though..
