Hi Susan; glad you are feeling good (about the guitars), and hoping you are doing well.  I think the tone John is getting with his Alembics is wonderful.

He also bought a used '75 Series I Medium scale small body guitar with a Cherry core. It's made out of 'The Zebrawood' by which all others are judged by. It has a quilty shimmer quality as well as birds eyes on it, very unusual. The board yielded about 6 instruments. I made the same guitar for Greg Lake.

Hello Susan ,  
                     
      It is great to read your posts and watch the You Tube links. Thanks for posting those.  That Zebarawood that you mention has always been a feast for my eyes as well.   I also find joy in seeing Alembic instruments being played in the Lime Light and being viewed upon as the exemplary creations that they are.    I wish you the best in health and in all and everything ,

These are fun (but dangerous) videos to watch! What a thrill to see (and hear) amazing instruments handled by a great player.
 
I saw some of these videos when I visited Alembic in August and they were the seeds that eventually blossomed into my Further G.A.S. attack.
 
Watch at your own risk!

Well folks, I will continue to post JCM videos here. I can't get enough of the glow of the Quilted Maple under the stage lights and the look on John's face as the guitar responds to him.  
 
Oh yeah the sound of the guitar is pretty awesome too.
 
As a guitar designer and builder, it doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks for all the postings, Susan. I feel awesome to have one of those 6 Zebrawood instruments. Kinda like I'm part of some club

The tone on that solo at 1:48 is just AMAZING!!!
 
Congrats guys. Talk about exposure!

Susan, many congrats on this 'get', just super to see a headliner grooving on an Alembic guitar, hope there's lots of fallout from it and lots more guitars going out the door.
 
Now, get John to hook up his bassist !
 
All the Best (and good to see you in PRINT !)
 
J o e y

Could a John Mayer signature Further or Darling guitar be in the pipeline??
Hmm...........are there any signature guitar models? I guess the Tribute is an obvious one.
