Another Spoiler for sale with a Crown headstock and Ivory colored pickups but $3,000 for a Spoiler?

It seems that each new advertisement is jacking up the price of the previous one by $500.

Oops double post. Didn't think the first one went through

Rumble Seat has had this Spoiler forever. I think they may have it for a long time at $3200. Looks to be pretty beat up, too.

The one on the 'bay looks pretty cool to me! Those white pickups give it a totally different look!

I have a custom essence 5 in black with leds for sale @ $2500 if the spoiler seems steep. Don't believe in being greedy at the holidays.

Has anybody here seen white pickup covers on a Spoiler before?
Is that a custom factory option or something aftermarket?

We made them and will make them on special request. Tough they historically are more of a cream color, white is now available. All of the colors tend to brown-age.

Thanks Mica.
I've seen the older cream ones, but this is the first bright white I've encountered.

It's no longer $3K! It's been relisted and jacked up to $3500.00!
Wow---good strategy!

Here's a reasonably priced Spoiler. At least I thought it was until I read further. Then my stomach began to get upset. Why oh why would someone do this to an Alembic? The additional routing is a mystery to me.
