Orion Guitar Examples

ABOUT THE ORION GUITAR

The Orion is the same quality you see in the rest of our guitars and basses. That’s because the Orion is made in our shop in Rohnert Park, California, right along with the rest of Alembic’s instruments.
 Quiet operation is the foundation of all Alembic guitars and basses. The Orion features two of our HG series hum canceling pickups with the familiar volume, bass, and treble setup. A 3-position mini toggle switch selects the pickups. All electronic components are carefully selected and tested. With Alembic, you know you can always count on clean, clear sound that lets your technique shine.
 Left-handed never costs extra on an Alembic. Neither does our list of standard woods including Flame California Walnut, Bird’s-eye Maple, Flame Maple, Zebrawood, Bubinga, and Vermilion. You can also order the Orion with a full complement of custom options as stated on our pricelist. If you want custom inlays, special colors, exotic woods, or upgraded electronics, we have got it all.
 Our baritone version of the Orion is a 28" scale length tuned to B or your preference. The gutsy baritone sound is an appropriate addition to just about any musical style.
 If you have never before experienced the Alembic guitar sound, you must find out what you’ve been missing.
