Well what model is it actually? It could be a sc signature standard with europa/rogue electronics or a europa/rogue with sc signature body. I think its the latter, but a check of the serial number would determine more conclusively. Nice bass though.

Looks like a "K"  serial, so that would be Essence + upgrades.

Edit: Looks like 03 K 13070

Weird, I don't see anything Essence about it. Bird tailpiece, bridge block, purpleheart laminates, Rogue(?) electronics. Seems closer to a Europa except for the lack of fingerboard inlays.

Well spotted FC, I was looking at it on my mobile so never even saw the serial number. Sol I guess that rules it out as being a SC Signature at least, though to someone unfamiliar with the naming conventions of alembic the electronics, the shape may be what they focus more on and not the electronics.
