A beautiful Elan just popped up on GC/used. Only reason I'm passing on it is my recent purchase of that Excel 4 short scale. Otherwise...

it's a looker!

Sure, and i prefer the aesthetic of the AXY pickups.

Same.

I really wish I could convince myself to be less financially responsible and buy that Elan.  It would live a happy life with the red one I bought last month.

I have the same feeling over a Series II Europa on this side of the pond.

I spoke with my wife while we were making dinner and she said, "you should just buy it now, I don't even know why we're talking about it".  I complied with her wishes.

How good is that, keeper encouraging you to acquire another keeper.
Enjoy. However now you need a white one.  🥳🤩

Ha!!   

Can't open that link. Says access denied?

If I open the link the message I get indicates that it was sold.

I bought it last night.  It was too good to pass up.  I've noticed Guitar Center prices Alembic instruments all over the map and they are consistently well below what they're being offered elsewhere; or they're insanely overpriced.  Definitely worth taking a peek every once in a while to see what they have.  I'll share pictures when it gets here.  I imagine that will be sometime late next week.

They had a brown bass this last week that went in nothing flat. I wonder if anyone on here got it?

I saw that and was wondering the same.  We should start an Alembic's Rescued From Guitar Center support group.
