Check out this Alembic Style guitar body on eBay. Maybe an Alembic with goiters? ... or one of those Ritter Dr. Suess bodies?

Bill, tgo

funky body

The NERVE of it all !

Some of the sellers on both eBay & Craigslist are taking FAR to much liberty throwing around the name ALEMBIC !

Just a little wood showing the grain with a natural finish look seems to be all it takes

?? The nerve of it all! ________.

This is what I say to that These people need to get their thumbs out of their eyes ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My loud 2 cents !!!!!!!!!

I don't see any Alembic in it. I'm with Bill on it looking more like something of Ritter lineage.

Wut? If that's Alembic style I am Napoleon. Looks like a partially melted Ritter to me.

OMG. It looks like a Pedulla on acid.

I need to email these guys.

Amazing they can remember to call it Alembic style but forget to mention what type of wood it's made from, because really, that's the only thing it has in common with an Alembic, is that it's made of wood, amirite?

Being on acid may explain why the 'through body holes' spacing and alignment are so kitty-wampus.
