The inspiration for this particular Alembic model came from a design originally conceived by Susan Wickersham for a custom Entwistle model with “a dragon’s wing for a body and a dragon’s claw for a peghead.”

The guitar makes use of Ron Wickersham’s unique pickup circuitry. The bass’s so-called “Signature”-type electronics include volume and pan knobs, as well as two filter controls (one associated with each pickup). The heavy-duty bridge and tailpiece of this model are machined out of solid brass.
