I had the opportunity to tour Alembic today.  Mica, Susan, and the rest of the staff were beyond gracious.
 
I was able to play a Series II with an ebony neck laminate.  I can cross that one off my bucket list.  
 
I will post some pictures when I get back to Minnesota.

Cool!  The tour, and of course meeting the folks, is a wonderful experience.

A trip to the Mothership should be on every Alembic owner's bucket list! The staff there are every bit as amazing as the incredible instruments they create!
