Interesting guitar.

Found a sold listing for this guitar. At first I though it was just a guitar made with Alembic electronics then I saw the headstock veneers and changed my mind. Of course after reading the description it mentions it is a shop night guitar. I really like this body style.

I used to own that one.   I can confirm it’s a Shop Night instrument.  I sold it about five years ago.  It’s a cool guitar.   Alembic pickups direct into a Stratoblaster.

Bill, tgo

The 2012 Alembic Gathering just came up in my feed and this guitar was in the photo lineup.  I was wondering what that was, thanks Bill!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

Cool guitar Bill, I remember that one... do you know what employee built it?

No.  I found it at the Three Amigos World Guitar Show in San Rafael.  The dealer knew little about it.  IIRC, I brought it by the Mothership and they confirmed it as a Shop Night.
