Related to the guitars linked above - Sam Ash also posted yet another interesting Alembic guitar today:

Like the first guitar linked in this thread, it has a "Strat style" pickup set, but this one has the "normal" bridge pickup angle instead of the reverse angle.
The maple neck is obviously unusual for Alembic. But zebrawood ovals? Interesting.
Then there is the "Starswitch" in place of a regular pickup selector. I'm really into onboard guitar electronics, but I have to admit I don't think I've ever heard of it, and I can't even figure out how it's supposed to work by looking at it. Does anyone know what this is?
And the headstock - I've never seen a
narrow crown-style headstock like this before. Or is it stretched?
Based on the similarities between the 1st and 3rd guitars, I wonder if all 3 are from the same guitarist offloading some gear. E.g. the 4 Alembics currently for sale at the Bananas At Large here in the Bay Area all came from a single person "thinning the herd", according to an employee I spoke with recently.
