Excel 5 Str. (1994?)
« on: November 08, 2005, 07:11:29 AM »
There was an ash/maple Excel 5 Str. last night on ebay; starting at 1300, 0 bids had been made with about 8 hrs to go.
 
Anyone see if any bids were made?
 
Just wondering (looking for an excel; wondering what the market is like).
 
Thanks,
Jack

That Excel on ebey had just the one fat boy, right in the middle, if I remember correctly.  I wonder if it'd be possible (surely) to have another installed at the bridge; or move that Fat Boy and have a regular Alembic MXY for the neck pick up.
 
I wonder how much that would cost?
 
I think I'd like that set up as shown under products on the main site.  I guess I'd have to hear a couple different options.

My guess is that financially you would be better off waiting around for one with two pickups to show up.  That said, my guess, and it's only a guess, is that Alembic can route for another pickup without incurring a refinish, and that the routing is probably not too expensive.  However, you would be adding not only another pickup but also a pan control.  So the electronics mods are probably going to start adding up.  But I'm just guessing.
