Factory tours are so interesting. I did one last summer at the new place Rohnert Park, and also in 2012 at their old place in Santa Rosa.

 

Only ever done two: The Maton one in Melbourne, Oz, and the Lowden one in Downpatrick, Ireland. In the Lowden one, you got to see the 'experimental' guitars that some of the builders were allowed to produce.

Didn't realise alembic were such a big outfit.


I've been to the electric wood workshop.... but as its a small converted cowshed, there isn't much of a "tour" to be had. Fraction of the size.

I loved the early part of the video with the resin filled coloured burl tops. Then later Mica explains how the different tops change the tone, so I wonder what the resin filled ones sound like? Plastic?

 

I'm not knocking Alembic as I've owned 5 of them, but that was very de-GASsifying for me, I'm not even sure if I'd order one if I won Powerball.
