Nice guitar! I get the built for/by an employee not for retail as an explanation for the lack of logo but it seems odd that under those circumstances there is a serial number.
-
Where do you see a serial number? Am I missing something? A '76 would have the serial number stamped on top on the headstock - I don't see any pic that shows the top.
Bill, tgo

A set of numbers is stamped below the 24th fret - but it's clearly a fantasy number.
-
If you blowup the second pick you can see 7608002 stamped in the end of the fingerboard. My guess is the builder stamped the completion date into it.
-
Serial number is visible on the end of the fingerboard... think it is the second photo if you scroll. Guess it does look like a fantasy serial number...

Love the top/back/fret-board woods. The neck recipe is intriguing. Subtle differences:
Look at the area around the hum-cancelling pick-up. Does is look clean to you?
Look at the placement of the master volume in relation to the other controls. Does it seem off compared to most Alembics?

I also don't recall seeing the 5-pin oriented like this before. Either way, it's an optimistic price for a shop-night guitar.

The posting say it was done that way to make it easier to thread the cable through the strap.
