Super nice one!  Priced at the current going rate....

One too many string, and extra long scale, I can't handle  ;D




Price is Japanese VAT included, so deduct 10% for export out of Japan and plus shipping.   (about 23,300 usd + shipping)


Takeo

35" scale and a 5+0 headstock.  that'll shift yer center of gravity and pu everything on yer left side at risk.  if it were fretless i'd be non-deterred.  $25,811 USD give or take. good luck to all!

I don't recall seeing another Rogue 5 or any other Alembic witha 5-on-a-side headstock. 🤔

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one either.  I kind of like it.

My Series Rogue has the 4+0 headstock (Elan/Essence) 34" with the/a Modified shorter upper horn and balances perfectly, even in pure Coco Bolo.
Mine has the ebony neck stringer too. This one seems to have Mahogany stringers as well.

I can't recall if this is the only 5 inline, but certainly if there's more it's not many. Rogues have the tailpiece and bridge way down at the bottom of the bass, so an extra long scale Rogue will have similar left hand reach of a Standard Point long scale.
