I played an old one, probably 70's or 80's, that was at a shop in San Rafael a couple of years ago. Very Alembic-like as far as the woodwork, but, IIRC, the electronics were pretty much run-of-the-mill. It seemed like a nice guitar, but the shop owner kept insisting it was an Alembic and wanted in excess of $3000 for it, which I felt was way too much.
