Author Topic: Hyak Guitar Trade (Read 952 times)

Hello,
I purchased this Hyak guitar thinking I would play it as much as my Hyak bass and I was wrong.
Now I'm thinking of trading it for my first Alembic bass.
The Q switches and 5 pin are not wired.
Active EMG's with push-pull pots.

Thanks,
Art

Here are a few more pictures. Thanks for looking. Changed the nut to a brass nut.

Hi Art! Welcome to the board!

Art is a good friend of mine here in Asheville. He's brought his Hyak bass out to the house, and I see him in town from time to time at Boudreau's where my band plays. He's been looking in on our site for a while, and watches the Alembic listings on Ebay.

Art:

Being Bill, the guitar one, I unfortunately have no Alembic bass to trade (I do have a Schecter, if you're interested - lol). However, I have a bunch of other stuff (guitars, amps, speaker cabs, pedal steel, howzabout a nice F2-B preamp?) or would be interested in an outright purchase if you were so inclined.

Bill, tgo

I'd like to see some pics of the Hyak bass, too, if it's handy...upper horn intricacies are very interesting in my opinion.

Will

Welcome Art! Any friend of Dave is a friend of ours.
Great looking guitar, I think Bill may have another one for his collection soon...
Thanks Keavin, now you made me hungry with that picture! (the power of suggestion). Those doughnuts are dangerously addictive...

Forgive me if this topic has been covered, but why are Hyak instruments identical to Alembics? Was Hyak a former craftsman at Alembic?
Thanks

Yes they once worked for Alembic in the 70's. I believe that the company was only around for several years. I also have some very interesting literature (also in electronic format) if anyone cares to see it.

Thanks Art.
Wow, they took everything except the kitchen sink when they left Alembic!
Yes, please post the literature, I'm sure many here would be interested.
