Title: 2003 Exploiter Guitar on ebay
Post by: David Houck on February 06, 2008, 07:11:34 PM

I just noticed this.  One of our members has this guitar listed on ebay, and he gives the club a nice mention in his listing.
 
It's an unusual guitar (http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-Alembic-Orion-Exploiter-Guitar-Vintage-Yellow-LED_W0QQitemZ370019939535QQihZ024QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).  Looks like it has Skylark controls.  Tinted Flame Maple top; nice looking Mahogany for the body.  LED's.  Very nice.

Dave,
it is more than unusual as this is no standard exploiter body.
Take a look at the lower front horn; it is much more protruded towards the neck than a normal Exploiter body.
This looks really crazy.....

You're right.  I'm wondering if they did it that way because it's a set neck.  Look at the back, where both horns curve in and meet at the heel.  I'm guessing the normal shape didn't leave enough body for the neck joint pocket.
