Thanks guys. Of course now I have to go to the post office, buy an EXPENSIVE money order, send it to L.A. (certified, return receipt, of course) and hold my breath. The seller has loads of positive feedback and has been very responsive through email, but this part is still downright scary. According to the seller, the guitar had the electronic mod at Alembic in 2002 and will come with paperwork to that effect. I'll be looking for a power supply for it (anybody got an extra one lying around?). The seller claimed it runs on batteries and they last for a year. That's contrary to what I've heard, but we'll see. It doesn't have LEDs (can you say hotdotz?) so maybe the battery lasts longer without 'em. An old Series 1 and my custom Further getting ever closer to completion. 2006 looks good!
Bill, tgo
