In those days I was taking out the Alembic and a 5-string, so I decided to sell it to buy a Tobias Classic 5. I regret it to this day.

I bought my first Alembic after trying (pre gibson) tobias, warwick, Status etc and nothing could compare even to Alembic's base model (the Epic). 13 years down the line I've added 2 custom builds and I'm planning for my 50th birthday pressy (in 2 years) which will need a visit to the factory. I chat online with the makers via the Almbic forum and they're just like a big happy family. Customer care is second to none so I guess what I'm saying is, sell all your worldly goods and get back on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had a 20th Anniversary but they look gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
