alembic: ridiculous, crazy, insane prices!

[animal control]

Ever try to eat a goose? In Europe the farm-raised ones are delicacies, but they shoot 'em here and the U.S. version are the ones that fly omp-thousands of miles back and forth all spring and fall their whole lives. It's all gristle. A lot of game is that way, those little eastern scrub deer are fast and skinny cause everybody's shootin' at them.

You know, when you see a flock of Canada Gees heading across the sky in that V shape - one side is always longer than the other side. Do you know why that is?

It's because there are more geese on that side.

Ya know, if you're into game there are only two names:  Moose and Buffalo. 

Both of these are real good.  Bullwinkle tastes gooood.

BTW - these are/were shot by my dad.  I can't seem to hit a barn.

Barns is lousy eatin' anyhow.

It's the splinters, they are buggers for getting stuck between your teeth.

200$ for schaller tuners?!
700$ for bookmatch top to center?!
300$ for a continuous trussrod cover?!?!
600$ for a snakewood board?!?! my local timberyard has high grade snakewood for 130$.
silver sidedots: 200$?!

COME ON!!!!

why, why, why is alembic so insanely expensive?! My crimson les paul, with those features listed (though some different woods) is litereally 1/10th the price of this alembic guitar.

are they covered in some devine excrement to warrant such a steep price?

i don't find them too expensive. but that's just me..hehehe i owned three. their construction quality, hi-fi sound, and flexibility are what you are paying for. the ones i owned were VERY sensitive to atmospheric/weather changes. i got tired of that. in the end, they are very nice basses, just not for me anymore. gimme a "J".
