Series II

The Ultimate Alembic. The Series II has been the source of great music and overwhelming desire. This is an instrument without compromise. Your voice is in this instrument, you just need to choose it.

Series II instruments feature the classic three piece low impedance/hum canceling trio of custom wound and hand cast pickups. Mated to the classic Alembic preamps supplied by either the external power supply or the onboard batteries. Finally that lovely tone flows into a pair of no compromise 12db filters with a full range of cut off and Q selections.

When nothing but the best will do, Select the Series II.
