Welp, I've decided to go ahead and put this incredible guitar on the market for real, I'm just too much of a Rickenbacker guy for it. Here's hoping you're interested!
1983 Alembic Spoiler
Body: solid Koa
Neck: 3-piece Maple
Scale: 32" Medium
Fingerboard: Ebony
Inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
Pickups: AXY4
Controls: volume, filter, Q-switch, pickup selector switch, mono output
Originally made for: Guitar Center, Santa Ana, CA
Birthday: March 22, 1983
Purchase includes OHSC, extra backplate screws, extra pickup screws, and two hex drivers for control knobs.
I've had three really great professional setups done on the guitar since acquiring it in August of 2021.
It's in better shape now than it was when I got it!
Currently set up to accommodate 100s-45s, Super Slinky, great low action.
All original hardware and electronics are fully functional.
Please see video from Guitar Chimp (from whom I purchased) or a full overview of the dings and divots (none of which affect its supreme playability):
Please respond here or email at nickbielli@gmail.com as I am fielding reasonable offers. Ships to Continental US at $150.
I'm sure that overseas shipping can be arranged or accommodated, I have just never done that before.
I would really prefer to sell it here, I'm holding off on posting to Reverb for a few days to see if anyone really, really, really wants it -
Thanks, all-
