Title: [SOLD] For sale 92 Essence, 4 str. flame maple on maple, q switch upgrad
Post by: allgood on April 16, 2020, 09:33:11 AM

Hi guys.  Hope you all are well.  Haven’t checked in in a while.  Many of you know that I recovered my old S 1 from Japan not too long ago.  Since then I have not played my Essence much, so I am putting her up for sale.  I will try to post photos.  Flame (quilted?) maple.  Kind of unique, a bit of splatting.  Great shape, I don’t think it has been dropped.  Veneers are good.  Has the Q switch upgrade.  Generic hard shell case with hi density foam added to form fit.  PM me.  I think I paid around $1,650, before I installed the hip shot, but can’t remember for sure.  I bought it around three years ago.  Seems like it ought to be worth around that, so I’ll ask $1,600.00 plus actual shipping.  Posting here first.  I’ll probably have to email additional photos, tried attaching but too large.    Thanks, Allen

Sorry, that should have said “spalting” not splatting.  Darn auto correct.  Thanks, Allen

Any offers?  You won’t offend me.  I’d rather sell here if possible.  She’s going up on the open market if not.  Thanks!  Allen

You’ll generate a lot more interest with photos. Any photo editing software such as Paint  can adjust the size so you can post.

There are a couple good pictures of Allen's Essence in this serial number lookup thread: http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=5277.msg61868#msg61868

Love that little birthmark.  :)
