Fake listing on ebay for ‘alembic’ pickups.

The listing is real enough, and on eBay proper, it's the non-Alembic pickups that are misrepresented.

Ok, I only popped it in here so that someone doing a search would find out they are non alembic pickups and hopefully not lose any money.  8)

I reported it to eBay, if enough people do they will probably pull the listing
