Well, it's an Alembic bridge; and they did start making that style in '77. And the tailpiece looks like something Alembic might do on a custom order. My guess would be that if it were made at Alembic, it was made as an employee side project. But that's just a guess. He says he still has the neck; if it's an Alembic, there should be a serial number stamped in the headstock. He says the guitar was made for him, but he doesn't say anything about replacing the original pickups. And the only thing he says about the electronics is that the toggles were removed. His story isn't convincing.
