So this was on my doorstep last Tuesday. It's GIGANTIC; reminds me of the old Tacoma Thunderchiefs in size, volume and tonal quality. As a fretless, this easily has the best fretless tone I've ever heard plugged in. It's just gorgeous, creamy and smooth with a full bodied sound.

I played one at guitar center today. the GAS is fucking me up. Worst part is, is that I had the cash to buy it but I would be sleeping in the back yard if I cam home with it

How's it sound unplugged?

Fairly loud, comparatively. The only other AEB that I've played that's as loud as the Alien is the old Tacoma Thunderchief, and that's probably because the Thunderchief was as big bodied as the Alien is. I had a rehearsal with two acoustic guitarists and it held up by itself, unplugged. The tone is full and woody, with good articulation and clarity.
I am going to have to change out the bronze strings though. Five minutes into playing it and my fingers are usually black. Will probably try a bright set of strings; I think if you put flats on this, it would end up sounding muddy.
