Phylo, that's just a private auction...they keep the IDs private until the end.

Can someone get Parish to look at the auction?  I bet he'd know right away if it was the Jerry Stone guitar or not.  
 
I am surprised Susan and Mica are letting the Alembic description ride, as it's completely not representative of Alembic work and craftsmanship.   $.02
 
Bill I am sure this has been asked, what the heck does TGO mean?  I've been playing with the acronym for a while now, and come up with nothing that makes sense.
The only thing that stays the same is change.

I think ebay's new policy is to keep all bidders private in all auctions.
 
Bill, tgo

Paul,
 
Bill is in a small but ever expanding group around here: he's The Guitar One
 
Ken (The Elvish One)

Roger:
 
Your question posted as I was writing the above, so I didn't see it.  Ken is indeed correct.  When I started hanging out around here, it seemed as if every other denizen was either a Paul or a Bill.  I was very impressed with the solution followed by our delightful brother across the waters, Paul, the bad one, aka Paul, tbo.  I admittedly plagerized Paul and dubbed myself Bill, the guitar one, as the others were bass players.
Not very exciting, but it works.
 
Bill, tgo

Ah, Roger on that.  Thanks Bill! I too am strictly an Alembic guitar one. I'll now return to the previously schduled thread...
 
I think this guitar would be an excellent defensive measure, if needed.

While Jerry did have someone make him a granite guitar in the 70's (we don't remember who), all we did was supply the electronics. Mom recalls it was dropped and broke into several pieces. She doesn't think any of them were big enough to become the guitar in the listing.
 
I have emailed the seller regarding the use of the Alembic name without any Alembic connection. I will report it through ebay's Verified Rights Owner program if I don't get a response today. I'm not a meanie - I like to give the seller a chance to correct the error before I sick the authorities on them.
