Interesting vintage series II alembic guitar.
« on: January 25, 2021, 09:56:16 AM »
This guitar has just appeared on a facebook group and looks superb. The poster is the original owner and it has mellow filters and what looks like a Jimmy Johnson style fan headstock. The pickup selector switch is in that Les Paul position which would keep it out of the way if strumming with passion.

 Sure is a pretty one.

The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

This is that 7-string guitar. The original owner had us make an alternate set of hardware for it as the neck was quite narrow.

That is a beauty! I love the teardrop shaped cover for the PUP selector
