I've been batting around the idea of a 10 string, but not gigging has taken away the motivation. byoung Intermediate Member Username: byoung Post Number: 141 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 3:20 pm:    Sweet neck.

I approve! Strongly. Yeah, the Scorpian was always one of my VERY favorite Alembic body shapes... classy, original, distinct, and functional. Looks to be quite a beauty... and you WILL love the ebony in the neck! byoung Advanced Member Username: byoung Post Number: 208 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, February 10, 2006 - 7:23 pm:    Hey Todd-- nice neck .
