Hello,

Just took delivery of my 2nd Alembic in as many weeks, a 4 string Rogue. :-)

Very curious about its history.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I'll be pulling records today and tomorrow, but you'll need to find the rest of the numbers, there should be 5 digits after the Q.

Thanks,
Mica

Hi Mica,

Just looked again, and it's stamped 97Q1691 USA on the brass truss rod cover. I can take a picture of it tonight if you'd like.

Thanks

Jon

Mica,

As a further follow-up, I just popped the control cavity cover off the back and checked inside. It is clearly stamped 97Q1691 USA.

Thanks

Jon

Mica,

Just lifted the neck pickup and took a peek. The number there is 9928. Hope that helps.

Regards,

Jon

Cool, that will settle the misnumbering issue. I'll get you the details tomorrow when I've got the rest of the pending research complete.

I did confirm the serial number from the workorder, but I left this file on my desk. I will post the details for you in the morning, sorry about the delay.

Please send in your truss ro d cover so we can make a replacement with the right serial number, and write the correct serial number in permanent ink on the shelf of the electronics cavity. Mary marked the file with the details about the serial number.
