Alquier Cosmic Debris Electric Guitar
For the acoustic/electric double threats on the forum - a 2018 Alquier Cosmic Debris on offer. As new condition. Please check out screenshot of the maker's spec sheet for materials and measurements. $3300 net to me.
An Alquier Ethiq series standout - featuring bamboo back, fingerboard and pickup covers, and titanium hardware for durability and enhanced sustain in addition to its eco-conscious bona fides - and some of the most meticulous fit and finish in the business. The Cosmic Debris distinguishes from its cohort with house WRHB pickups. Cliff at DAG champions these as some of the best tone machines out there -and I owe the DAG team for making this exemplar instrument available to me. Alas, have to move the chains on some other life matters as swiftly as I've acquired this - and quixotically machinating a custom build otherwise. Includes a custom molded OHSC, and original Alquier receipt/order sheet. Quick video once over - https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/755816753 A swift clip of the Cosmic Debris at bridge pickup (through a Tex 5w and Divine Noise cable, straight to iPhone mic 2' away, no effects - the touch of OD may be amp cab compression), yours truly taking it through the paces in a Tobin Sprout/Paul Westerberg et al mode. Apologies I don't have many other modes these days. Flaws are the archer not the arrow. - I'll follow with a neck pickup shortly, meantime https://soundcloud.com/branyoner/iiii-2 an Alquier pro recording with what I think is this exact instrument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOIQS9nRjQ and a Cosmic One video (Jean-Yves Alquier's Kickstarter project guitar, (that didn't fund) with slightly different hardware and looks like P90 style pickups - compared to the Cosmic Debris house WRHB), which communicates similar tonal versatility to the Cosmic Debris. There's a lot of Tele (and 70s Tele to my ear) out of the gate - exploration will find a tremendous range of potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjeNGtj6Q50 Happy to elaborate on the serious magic of this instrument - get in touch if there's some motivation here. I'm entranced by what Alquier has done for electric guitar craft since the 2010s and hope he stays in the game. |

re-motivating on this one (when the dry spell of to^the^tops^ signals ~ maybe i should keep in the quiver) - now $3K shipped to conus.
looks like the vimeo link disappeared from the first post - now here https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/755816753 and addinga clip of neck pickup cleans (please remember i'm just bleeding out some notes for the cause, i'm not auditioning for your band) https://soundcloud.com/branyoner/y5rexyvfr5pf allons y! |
