Whats going on with this S1 Geetar
« on: June 27, 2019, 02:49:18 AM »

PuP selector removed from the lower horn, looks like other stuff going on down by the filter/volume knobs.  DIdn't notice it before but looks like a nice inlay on that neck also.

Perhaps it once had mellow filters.

First - yes, that is nice inlay.

Second - one big plug & 3 small ones:  Selector moved and then removed?  Plus either Dave's "mellow" idea (and aren't all Dave's ideas mellow?), or Q-switches relocated?

Binding too, a little bit outside the norm for Alembic.


There was an early Omega-cut guitar showed up here a couple years ago with cool custom inlay and metallic-looking binding. I did a double-take on this one, but it's a different one.


That thing sounds fantastic!  8)

That guitar is a special one!   That used to belong to John "Marmaduke" Dawson from NRPS.

The guitar in that link is amazingly fabulously drool worthy with all the little nuances on it.

It looks like a laminate crack emanating from the 5-pin jack?  :(

Here's Maramaduke's guitar with everything in situ; looks like the selector, a master volume, and mellow filters have fallen by the wayside.

I've not heard the term "mellow filters" before.  what is that?

Anyway, getting ready for a trip this am but I found more photos that are current.

located here for you face bookers :  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10219482345077369&set=a.10200341216121108&type=3&eid=ARDF6ZdWPj8gnq9R3QH1CvgS7bm4skdpitoiRFbWzJOpLht2vE1mi6zv4CVZzJRezv1UcKbLmymRXSys
