Title: 81 Distillate Guitar (Japanese Export)
Post by: jazzyvee on June 22, 2009, 08:43:39 AM: Here is a strange Alembic Distillate Guitar with a whammy bar and even more surprising, it has a bolt on neck.
I found it on a japanese site.

Somehow, this doesn't seem like a genuine article?

Did you look at the red Alembic after that. What a coincidence, because it is number 81 0165 as well!

I guess Alembic thought they were twins, and gave them the SAME SERIAL ???

The translation was not good enough to determine why it was modified. Hopefully, one of our Japanese members will notice this thread and translate for us.

I reported here. (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=1581)
It means Alembic's Filter tone is most important for the sound.
