Did that ship from Alembic like that originally, or was it (i.e., the oval ebony compartment cover with tiger inlay) added later after the fact?

I don't know. It's similar to but not the same as the one on this guitar.

There is a company that sells exact Tiger inlay replicas, among other Jerry'esque guitar parts. Check out: www.jackofroses.com

Since the oval basically interferes with one of the jacks I had a strong suspicion that it didn't ship from Alembic that way. IMHO, it devalues the market value of the guitar to have made that non- stock and non-reversible mod.

I still wouldn't mind a Tribute for $2500 anyway, Wink,Wink! LOL!

The inlays pictured on that site are very close to, but still not the same as, the one in the listing.

Kevin; it is a very nice guitar!

Oh, I'm sure it is. Alembics are a tough sell (for premium prices) on the open market unless you're already addicted like those here on the site. Even still, I doubt Alembic Club members would pony up a premium for a modded piece like that. For the right (low) price, I imagine someone will jump on it. Like I said, anything is possible for the right price, LOL!

I've been watching this one too. It's creeping up to the point where I'll lose interest, though. Currently at $3,264.00 with more than 4 days to go and the reserve not met. I suspect it will soon be out of my willingness to reach.

Bill, tgo

I've never seen an oval-inlaid Tribute that had the inlay screwed onto the top.

Jeff; the one I referenced above is; scroll down to the bottom of the page for the picture. Makes for a convenient stash.

Not that convenient - you need to be able to wield a small screwdriver, probably in dim lighting, and not scratch the thing up.

Bob; now that you've pointed it out, you're right, it's not all that convenient!

bill

Buffalo Bill is the hi-bidder! I guess you really want that bad-boy! Reserve still not met, though.
