Is that strat jack original?

I’m not seeing any pics and the links don’t open.
Bill, tgo

It's a California Special (https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=8074.0) and the jackplate would be original. These came with Schaller or Floyd Rose trems.

The pictures show as regular photos in the post for me, on an Android phone.
-
No pictures visible to me either and the file that downloaded when I clicked on it doesn't display either.
-
Pictures have a webp extension.

As Adriaan commented, the pics show as regular photos on the site when using Chrome.
-
Pics are showing for me on safari.
I wish this had a chrome bird stop and bridge instead of the tremolo. I wonder how hard it would be to modify one. Has anyone ever heard of someone doing that? Mica, what do you think?

Nada on Safari/iPad for me.

Converted.

It's a nice guitar. I bet it sounds great. And personally, I like the sound of trem bars.
-
Jack is likely original. We can change out the trem to a fixed bridge and stop, but it won't look like it was there originally without a total refinish and an opaque paint job, seems like a lot of expense to me! I'd start with a new build, but then again I sell guitars for a living :)

And i thought you sold dreams, and made them look like guitars. 🤫😂

I don’t know if it‘s the same one, but this looks like Steve Millers’ green California Special that was on consignment years ago, pre-pandemic, at Guitar Showcase in San Jose.
Bill, tgo

Neck looks like a combination of maple and something else in the center. Interesting. I haven't seen many California Specials... maybe this was a standard feature?
-
They started adding walnut pinstripes to the all maple necks sometime after 1994, my 94 Epic has none.
-
Pictures for Steve Miller's California Special can be seen here https://www.gbase.com/gear/alembic-steve-miller-clsg-1993-green
It's green (not teal) with a bird tailpiece and it's a 93.

Jazzy, this is one of the best reasons for a "like" button.
