Which Alembic do I keep?

[M5Yates]

I find myself blessed with two Alembic Persuaders. I need to sell one to fund another purchase.
Which one should I keep - light flamed Koa or dark Coco bolo?

Koa:

Coco bolo:

Keep the cocobolo one!

 

[Munjibunga]

If they both sound the same, keep the cocobolo. Otherwise, keep the one that sounds best to your ear.

I like them both..but the coco bolo would be my choice.

good luck with the decision!

 

[SnakeAnthony]

I say CocoBolo based upon looks. But really its about which one you think sounds nicer.

 

[phxlbrmpf]

I also think the Cocobolo one looks better.

 

[M5Yates]

It's funny, but they sound like they look - the Koa is lighter and crystal clear; the Coco bolo is a little darker and more mello.
I like and could live a long time with either.

The cocobolo is the classic Alembic look...

I love the looks of the Coco Bolo, but I would prefer the sound of the Koa.

I like the koa one. What do you play to buy with the one you sell?

What he said.

 

[Joe Gress]

The cocobolo looks more like an Alembic, and looks better for the body and fret baord that you have.

2 of my fav top woods...cocobolo.

 

[Bass_Machine]

Keep both!

 

[Tony G]

I am more a fan of the koa myself...

 

[M5Yates]

I put in a better picture of the Koa.

 

[Figjam]

I vote koa now. ><

 

[PinkTelephone]

keep the coco bolo. dark wood is nicer on alembics.

 

[Rockin John]

Get rid of both. Sent them free of charge to me at......

I like the dark one best. Keep that.

I entirely agree.
