there's a close resemblance to this one...

Who's the player Keavin? I'd say it's a very good imitation. The headstock doesn't look right and the top horn has a scroll which I don't believe I've ever seen on an Alembic before. I could be wrong though - it's happened before.

A Hyak perhaps?

if you look very closely at the headstock it does appear to possibly have a Dolan logo. the little eye al la: http://www.steelguitarblackbox.com/page12/page17/files/page17-1000-full.html

That looks like the Alembic guitar once owned by Johnny Winter.

Nice find Keavin-

Gotta love the Brothers Johnson. Louis looks like Mista Cool there. That must be his Get the Funk out Ma Face look!

I remember, the single cutaway bass was discussed on here and it has same logo.
