Isn't that the one made for Johnny Winter?

I knew I had seen that guitar somewhere before! Thanks Michael! Here is a prior picture. But the Gruhn picture is pretty good too!

The pickups look different.

It looks as though the original pickups were cast as clear and replaced with black ones.

Here is the Gruhn listing.

Wouldn't the strap keep you from getting to the upper most frets? Seems like the strap holder is a bit far up towards the neck, no?

How can the Johnny Winter guitar be 75-689 if my Series 1 is 76-476? I thought all Alembic serial numbers run sequentially, regardless of model.

Bill, tgo

Gruhn also has a 1966 Gibson Byrdland owned by Jerry Garcia for a mere $100,000!
