Title: Wanted Series Guitar - American Beauty
Post by: mkazaria on August 08, 2009, 09:41:07 PM

Many moons ago I had an opportunity to purchase a Series I guitar with a Quilted Coco Bolo top and back, you can find it in the Featured Custom (http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_americanbeauty.html (http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_americanbeauty.html)). At the time I couldn?t complete the sale and ever since I have been wanting to find this guitar. Does anyone in the club know who owns this guitar? If you own the guitar any chance you are interested in selling? Thought I would give it a try.

From what I remember, the guitar was sold thru Gguitars, and it had to go back to the mothership because the Quilted Coco Bolo was unstable.  
 
Beyond that, I've no idea what happened to it....

I know who owns it, and I'm pretty sure he's not in the market for selling, but I'll check in with him and get back with you.

And the unstable part was the center of the bookmatch to center opened up between two of the pickups, so we repaired and refinished.

Thanks Mica for checking. I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try.
