Wow-Series 1 Dbl neck....
« Reply #1 on: May 03, 2006, 06:14:20 PM »
So much mojo it's smoking!!
 
'Seagull' tailpieces, pistol grip, double 'Knob' headstocks, dark wood neck laminates.  I wonder why the baritone neck has bass keys for tuners?
 
What a wonderful piece of history.  Buy smart, have it refinished and refitted (I'd have it fretted) back in Santa Rosa for a FRACTION of what it would cost to commission this these days!

This incredible axe was appeared once on the club board  
 
I was interested it, especially baritone neck converts to 6 strings (E to F) SSB.

By the way, this instrument was featured in one of the Alembic brochures that was printed in 1975.
 
Note the twin truss rods on the 6 string side.  Twin truss rods were not standard until late 1977.
