That's a sweetheart of a guitar. I believe it's the same one Rob had for a while. That body pattern really duzzit for me.

This one has been flipped twice in the past year, originally selling for $6799, then $8950, now it’s at $11K.

Beautiful guitar in many ways, but the shorter narrow neck and middle pickup didn’t work for me.  I bought it for $6300 and sold it for $5800. Posted it here for a while, but there was no interest.

Will you please let me know, the middle pickup didn't work for you because of the sound, or because you would bump into it while picking?

Because I would constantly bump into it with my pick. Probably just my picking style.  The guitar sounded amazing.

The neck inlays are exceptional.

Does anybody find the intonation adjustment to be odd? With all the range alembic hardware offers, it seems alarming that they're all pushed towards the nut.

Those bridge saddle positions were done by the set designer - like for the photo. Pretty sure the instrument is not set up correctly. It’s pretty though.
