Greg Lake's Alembic 12 String

Hi Mica, just wondering your thoughts on this one. A bit pricey, but just wondering if anyone has some thoughts on this.

Considering the guitars have Q-switches and not CVQ, that alone would make them series I guitars not Series II.
I personally think the price is optimistic, but there might be someone who feels that valuation is good due to the claim of famous ownership. Both look like nice guitars though.

They already sold! Too bad his 8-string bass wasn't part of the set - that would be impressive, but then the seller did say if it was that he wouldn't part with them.
