Title: [WITHDRAWN] 1977 Medium Scale 6 string guitar (not bass)
Post by: timlortie on December 14, 2022, 10:04:35 AM

Hello Alembic family.  I am considering selling my 1977 Alembic.... Great condition (only owner, rarely played). Before I put it on the market, I thought I would see if there was interest here.  I think it deserves a better home... SN 77619...Rare blend of woods used, original case, original paperwork (signed by Rick Turner, Ron Wickersham, among others)...power supply I think is original, but unsure.  I will post pictures if there is any interest, and I can figure out how...

Top/Back: Walnut
Core :Maple/Mahogany
Neck: Birch/Beech/Amaranth
Fingerboard: Padouk
Veneers: Zebra/Walnut
Inlays: Mother of Pearl

This sounds like the guitar-twin-sister to my Series bass, #77-621.


I would love to see it as well.

Greg, the guitar version of your above-pictured  bass would be a long scale guitar. The medium scale guitars have a body shape closer to the Stanley Clarke model.

Bill, tgo

Good Call; hang onto that gem.  :)


Right you are/were Bill TGO - I missed the medium-scale clue at first. The walnut in the top sure looks a lot like the top (and back) of Ol' 621 though. That extry maple accent is a nice touch too. Keith's #77-624 has a purpleheart accent between the top and core. Man, those were the days of anything goes!
