Title: Another Questionable "Alembic" on Reverb!

I dont think gluing an Alembic Fridge magnet on the headstock makes it so.  Nice crack in the headstock too.

That used to be mine.   It's a shop night guitar, not a prototype.   The neck repair is ugly, but stable.    There are no standard Alembic electronics.  It relies upon the Blaster for a preamp.  It sold on reverb a few months ago, but is now back again.   I believe I sold it for around $1500, which is a far more appropriate price than the $4200 being asked.

Bill, tgo

They could have taken the ugly clip-on tuner off for the pics.  ;D
