I'm probably gonna get this wrong, but here goes: Where is the proper sub-category to place a picture request? I was reading that fab writeup in Wikipedia about Alembic Inc, and saw that blurb about Johnny Winter's customer Alembic Firebird-style guitar. I'd love to see a pic of it, but did not find anything in the Showcase area. Does Alembic or any of the readers out there have a pic of this one-of-a-kind?

The Johnny Winter guitar that I am familiar with is here (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=2283), though it's not a Firebird style guitar. And this category seems like a good place for such a request.

Dave - I think Trekster means Firebird as in famous Gibson guitar shape, rather than fiery bird-like creature.
I asked Susan about this & she said Alembic made 2 guitars for Johnny Winter, the first being the one Dave provided a link to in his above post, while the second was a small standard body guitar, not a Firebird style.

Thanks for clearing that up Val. Susan had mentioned the Johnny Winter connection to me a while back and I obviously got the wrong end of the stick. I'll fix the Wickepedia entry. Sorry Trekster.

And of course Steve is having his Alembird built - see the details here http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/631/3147.html?1115773291 (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=7031)
eh, no sweat. I'm sure if it had existed it would have been glorious.
