The bass looks like a Series 1 1/2. I do like the guitar. If it were a bass I would have some serious thoughts about going after it. However it isn't and even if it was I have a wife who would surely straighten me out on priorities.

Wow, I would like to have that, but if I start branching out into Alembic guitars who knows what would happen!  :)

I'm just crazy about "THE" zebra wood.   That, with what looks like a walnut core and that lovely neck recipe and accent lams.....

Beautiful.

Which well know instruments were made from that lot of Zebrawood called "The Log?" Was it Greg lake or John Paul Jones?

I've seen several offspring of The Log posted here, but I don't recall seeing another yet with that much figuring. That's positively stunning.  :o

This is the sister of my S II AC 405. I wish I had the dough.

Absolutely stunning!  But still a little overpriced, IMHO, though with that top the seller may just get it  Heck, if I won the lottery I'd buy it faster then a fourth grader when the bell rings on the last day of school.  And though it is advetised as a long scale, (25 1/2"), it looks to me like a medium scale guitar, (24 3/4").  Also, it looks like a straight Series 1.  The same seller also has a sweet bass up for sale, too.

Bill, tgo
