Vintage Alembic 76' 452 is now on here

Bridge and Tailpiece are rusty, and dings are on the head and point.
She has nice top and back woods. (Vermilion ? or Purpleheart ?)

BUT, the stating price is terrible !
It's JPY 590000 (over $ 5000) !

The file says Purpleheart top and back and Cherry core. Maple and Walnut neck. July 26, 1976 birthday (almost 30 years old).

Hi Mica,

Thank you for the quick info.
The scale length is Long or Medium ?

And I found very curious point.
One position mark is on the 22 fret !?
I have never seen it on 22 fret.

It's a 32 inch scale. There is no notation about the fret marker, as in a custom order. I would tend to think that was an error.

looks very much like my 76399, which is a 32. has weathered almost the same way (some bubbling on the brass but not that kind of rust).

but they got the fret positions correct on mine.
