It would look great on my Starfire, but I think my money would be better spent having Alembic do some work on it.

I saw that Logo as well .It is the most beautiful TRADE MARK , in my opinion that I have ever seen . . ___Hopefully it will not ever fall into the hands  of those that perpetrate  abuse or fraud with it.

Yeah, right you are Wolf. I'd like to think it will end up in an appropriate place.

Yup, very annoying. Especially since any person legitimately needing one installed can have us do it for fifty bucks including labor, so this is at quite a premium.  
 
Seller is in our county, I'm guessing it was removed from the workplace unofficially by a former employee, since we don't sell them uninstalled. So yeah, real, but not good mojo.

Yeah...these pop up every once in a blue moon. I bought one a few years ago. In part because I always wanted one and in part to keep it out of the hands of those who'd use it for nefarious purposes. Wound up giving it to Bill TGO to thank him for allowing me to crash at his place during one of the gatherings. I think he was going to make his lovely wife a necklace with it.

Would make an awesome tie-clasp, if ties were the style anymore. But definitely go to the source, that mojo matters.

If it weren't such a ridiculously inflated price, I'd buy it myself, and send it back out to the Mothership to go on my custom build.    
 
I guess what tweaks me most is, in the description it literally says, ...ready for your instrument or whatever application desired.
 
Of course that *could* be taken to mean something innocuous, (like tie-tack or pendant) but the implication is - do whatever you want with it, honest or not.  
 
*Not Cool*. =(
