While I adore my 7 PRS 's I've always dreamed of an Alembic guitar to match my bass. Jerry Garcia will always be my guitar hero, his Skylark was his first Alembic known as "Wolf" well you know when I saw this beauty and couldn't resist . They have only made 18 of them , this one has it's own web page .
base price is for this model is $13,900 as this one sits about 15K I thought about it for a day ... no bids yet ... .I can wait .... OH No a bid .... SNAG IT NOW BOY! It even has the LED side markers ! picked it up for <5K ... Cha Ching ... my CFO is really pissed ... I just plead INVESTMENT !!!

Cherry sweet Skylark covered in red with flamed top peeking through the color. Usually we make the front peghead veneer Ebony, but with all this lovely red, we just had to make it coordinate in Flame Maple with the red finish.
More on the red theme with red side LEDs. Operated by an on/off switch, fire these on when the stage lights go dim and play on with confidence. Each one is inlaid in a tiny sterling silver circle so even if they are turned off, you can still clearly see the side position marker. Battery power is from a separate circuit from the active electronics, so even if you allow the LED batteries to go dead, you won't lose precious power for your signal.
Great bright tone, almost like an amplified acoustic. Each pickup has its own volume control and low pass filter tone control.
Remember the Super Eagle John Mayer played with Dead & Co is based on these , The Further and Tribute are the 3 pickup versions.
Carlos played an Alembic for a while and I'm sure he influenced the Skylark .
