I'm off to the states in a couple of months to do some concerts in California and Arizona with the reggae band(s) I am guitarist with.
The bands are is Apache Indian & The Reggae Revolution, Musical Youth.
 
For dates check the band's web site:

I would be interested in getting hold of an alembic guitar and/or 6 string bass, new or used, whilst in the usa.  
If you know of any music stores nearby the places listed in the tour schedule. Please drop me an email.  
 
Cheers

Good luck with the tour Jazzy. I saw musical youth on channel 5 last night - Greatest 80's TV moments - when they appeared on Blue peter. Very funny. Is it the same musical youth?

Pass the kootchie on the lefthand side? It sounded highly inappropriate for a band in their early teens - but that was then.

On the 3rd of July you will be in San Francisco and only about 45 minutes away from the Alembic Factory so I would set up a tour if I were you also when in San Jose there is Guitar Showcase which normally has about 6 or 7 Alembics to show. Good luck on your tour.

You also show you are in San Jose on June 30th. This gives you a couple of chances to visit places. The Guitar Showcase is on Bascom Avenue in SJ. I used to shop there when I lived in the Bay area but its been so long ago I hesitate esimating drive times.
