Thanks so much.......... mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3027 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 10:41 am:    The inlays are finished, and your guitar is nearly ready for you to pick up (you are picking it up, right?). Here's a sneak peek: It's really cool, it just emerges from the top. You'll see what I mean in person. A couple I snapped of the poppy while it was in process: Either my mom or I will give you a call when it's ready for you. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 1679 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 10:44 am:    Cool! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 916 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 10:50 am:    Steve: I saw your axe when I stopped by Alembic yesterday. The inlay is stunning. Very creative, unique, and appropriate (I understand you're an anesthesiologist). Absolutely beautiful guitar.

Susan, Mica , Valentino and the gang made the process quite enjoyable as I had never purchased a custom guitar before. The tone is superb, the craftsmanship exemplary and the inlays a thing of perfection. I have been playing since 1978 (not seriously but for fun) and it is nice to have the guitar I always wanted. THANK YOU !!!! tom_z Advanced Member Username: tom_z Post Number: 282 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, February 04, 2006 - 10:40 am:    Steve - congratulations on your Tribute - play it in good health. =) By the way - I'm sure we would all love to see some photos of the finished guitar in the Showcase section.

And yes, if you don't mind, this looks like it would be a nice one to have in the Showcase section! jlpicard Advanced Member Username: jlpicard Post Number: 356 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 05, 2006 - 1:24 am:    Do the filters in the guitars work the same as basses or do they effect a higher frequency range and with a different Q? lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 945 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, February 05, 2006 - 8:38 am:    Alembic guitars have low pass filters too. Just like the basses. They allow everything below where they are set to pass and filter out everything above. The Q just boosts the particular frequency that the rotary pot is set to, just like in a bass, IIRC.
