Michael,
      Welcome! I bought my Tribute from Chris at GGuitars in March and had a great experience with him. After 6 months, I still get that feeling when I open the case, and the novelty still hasn't worn off. It is true that there's some re-learning when you get an Alembic, but what a great oppotunity. With an Alembic, an old dog can learn new tricks. Enjoy! And put some pictures up on the Showcase section.
