I've just purchased my third Alembic, a 1999 Epic (SN# 99W11994). I bought it on Ebay last week from a man in the Milwaukee area, and received it tonight. It's lined fretless customized with red side LEDs, a knobby peghead, and a Hipshot drop-tuner on the E string. It has a flame maple top lam and an original hardshell case. I'll be posting pictures in the club soon!
