Title: '77 Series I Guitar
Post by: brb9911 on March 29, 2008, 10:11:06 AM

This one has a little wear, but comes complete and is priced to sell ... Starts at $2800 with no reserve.

This one disappeared before the listing expired. Wonder what happened? It did not have a Buy It Now. I guess the seller pulled the guitar. In recent days I have seen several guitar or basses just drop off eBay before the listing expired.

I've noticed a few of these recently as well, especially with Alembics; of these, 2 were definitely suspicious, but the rest seemed legit (as this one did).

yeah. I didn't email the seller; but I may have done so had the listing gone longer. This guitar was in Tennessee as I am. It looked in good shape, even with a bit of wear in the expected places.  I don't know that I could justify having two of these guitars, but you can always dream.
 
By the way, how do you like your Skylark? (dumb question, huh?)

I absolutely love it -- it's really a dream guitar for me. I'm a huge Jerry fan, and his music is the main reason I picked up the guitar. I can get all my Jerry tones -- and a lot more -- out of the Skylark.
 
I'm actually fairly new to guitar, so I can't compare it to many others. In fact, it's time I posted some pics of her and a little bit about what got me started .....

One of the Alembic basses that disappeared (the maple top Series I), I purchased from the seller.  It was a relisting on which I had made an offer in-between listings (does that make sense?)...anyway, we came to an agreement.

I read you post quickly and thought I had read you had already posted pics of your Skylark. I went to the Skylark section and nothing new so I came back and reread. Look forward to seeing the pics. I only have pics (group) of mine posted with my profile. I need to put up some individual pics of the crew.
 
I would really like to have a Skylark (who wouldn't).

This guy is having a tough go on his auction. I checked again today to see it gone again before the listing had expired. I started to post that info again but thought, 'what the heck' and just left it. He has it listed again on a 9 day listing. The starting price is $50 more than last time and $350 less that first time if I remember correctly. ....(http://club.alembic.com/Images/395/51025.jpg)
