I love Alembic Basses but I do not conform to the Alembic guitar sound. It seems too clean for the Blues & Jazz I like.
 
I love gritty tones from solid body guitars with hum-buckers.
 
Any solid examples for blues or Jazz on an Alembic guitar?

Yeah, I prefer Betty Boop to Olive Oyl any day.

I'd like to find some music recorded with Alembic guitars.
I love a clean sound on guitar and alembic gives me that whether its at the bright or mellow end of their range.
 
I have had difficulty in getting a good over driven/gritty sound on my Orion guitar using a pedal but with a tube amp it's much better.  
 
With my series I guitar I can get a great variety of overdriven/crunch sounds using my old Proco Rat Pedal or a valve amp.  
 
It's  horses for courses really. If I was doing a gig where I needed a gritty sound for most of the set I'd pick my Strat and not my Alembic guitar.

The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

How about an Alembic Guitar With  perhaps  an Alembic F-2B with cascaded channels for over drive?  Or an Ibanez Tube Screamer ?  Over drive with compression is interesting too.  Sorry ,___ I am just thinking out loud again .  LOL _____.

B.B. King has an ES-335 with Series II innards, if memory serves...  Couldn't tell you what he may have played it on though..
