Title: (x) 98W11809 Epic Special Edition
Post by: starfire on September 08, 2008, 12:18:14 AM

Hi,
  Many years ago I purchased a new Alembic Epic Special Edition #10: SN 98W11809 from a guitar center in NJ.  Back then, I was notoriously bad about registering equipment, and was wondering if it would be possible to register it now!
  Regards!
  Marc
 
PS - I also was wondering if you still alembicize basses, I also have a Starfire I.

Hi Marc,
 
Here's the details from the instrument file:
 
top: Flame Maple
accent: Purpleheart and Maple veneers
body: Mahogany
neck: 3-piece Maple with 2 Walnut pinstripes
fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid (plastic) inlays
plates: brass
birthday: July 17, 1998
originally made for: Guitar Center
 
This was part of a 60 piece order for Guitar Center's anniversary model. This one is number 10 of the edition and it should bear an engraved truss rod plate.

One other note: apparently, there is an Essence bass out there with the same serial number, only with a K for the alpha character.
