Mica,
Thanks for the info!

I was wondering, was this guitar a limited edition?

Hi Claire,

Congratulations on your new purchase!
Any chance that you may post a picture of it? I'm not familiar with this model. I'd really like to see it.

Cheers!

Rami

Claire, you have that?!! I only know Alembics as a bass player, but that's one gorgeous guitar.

Congrats,

Yep, this is the one (the one in Michael's pic).

I think it is a beautiful instrument, and hopefully, it plays as well as it looks ;)

We should be receiving the guitar this week, and I will post the pictures as soon as I can.

Thanks for the posts!
