Very interesing, both use Macassar ebony, no back laminate, and medium scale....  I guess someone ordered from Alembic in batches?  But why medium scale with small standard body??

The top one certainly looks like a Macassar ebony top, the second one more like Rosewood (with a Macassar ebony facing on the headstock).

They both look like fairly early Signature models, without the actual signature decal.

Have there been any small body design 28 "scale Alembic 6 string baritone guitars built ?

But why medium scale with small standard body??

Because medium scale with a large standard body would weigh more (and, arguably, look a little silly).

fwiw a small body medium scale (32") 4-string Series I is my unicorn ...if I was still unicorn hunting.

The small body with the medium scale is the best of both worlds, in my opinion.   I have 2 of them!    I'm just so short, the large body is too much for me.

If memory serves, the Standard Point body and medium scale neck were designed to go together.  And I think they look like they were.
