Gonna make some room...1984 Koa Spoiler
« on: July 28, 2025, 10:51:07 AM »
Hello Alembic club!

As I get closer to wrapping up both the 1976 Series 1 and the 1980 series 1 restoration, I need to make room ( and keep my wife from killing me) so I will be selling my Koa 1984 Spoiler.
This is what the build sheet said from Alembic;

Here's what we found in the file:

body: solid Koa
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 32: medium
fingerboard: Ebony
controls: volume, 4-position pickup selector switch, filter, q-switch, mono output
originally made for: Colfax Music
birthday: March 8, 1984
There's a note that the neck is undersized, but the dimensions aren't recorded.
Haven't put it up for sale on reverb as of yet, but will do so this week.

Hi Art,

Just out of curiosity, what is the string spacing at the bridge?

I am interested. Please let me know the price you need for it and the weight of the bass;  Thanks, Todd

Thank you!  I would love to try that neck.  It must feel like a longer version of an old Guild.
