Interesting set-neck Rogue at Bass Emporium.

The inlay looks familiar.

So, the electronics determine the model? The serial number indicates it's an Orion. Nice upgrades, though not sure it justifies the price.

It's advertised as a Rogue, but since it's a set-neck it probably is an Orion with the Rogue body shape and electronics. No S/N advertised - it might be numbered as a C (for custom).

I took 99OW12185 in the URL to be the serial number, OW being the Alembic nomenclature for an Orion. Could be wrong.

Well spotted!

I've been looking at this one for months and noticed there was no sustain block and maybe it was built BTC. So now the serial# tells the tale that it is a modified Orion. A bit much since it's not neck-through. I saw a Rogue 6 string at the Atlanta Get Hurt Center for around $3500.00.

That thing has been up there forever, since I started looking at Alembics nearly a year ago iirc. I'm sure they've been told more than once by now that it's really an Orion....

Yeah I imagine the reason it's been there so long is it is overpriced for a used Orion - even with custom options.
