81 Distillate Guitar (Japanese Export)
« on: June 22, 2009, 08:43:39 AM »
Here is a strange Alembic Distillate Guitar with a whammy bar  and even more surprising,  it has a bolt on neck.
I found it on a japanese site.

Somehow, this doesn't seem like a genuine article?

HAHAHA
 
Did you look at the red Alembic after that.  What a coincidence, because it is number 81 0165 as well!
 
I guess Alembic thought they were twins, and gave them the SAME SERIAL ???

I translated the page, and it appears that the red guitar is the original, and the top guitar is the same guitar after it was modified.  The translation was not good enough to determine why it was modified.  Hopefully, one of our Japanese members will notice this thread and translate for us.

Hi,
 
I reported here.
It means Alembic's Filter tone is most important for the sound.

Is that a bolt on neck I see?  Curious.
