Title: Epic body..... Really?
Post by: jazzyvee on July 14, 2017, 01:44:52 AM
Just spotted this on ebay. I don't know if it is a genuine alembic made body, but if it is, then how would it have escaped from Mica's watchful eye and ended up in Sri Lanka?

No accent laminates, no bookmatch, unlikely to be the genuine article.

Agree; unlikely, but it does remind me of the body mock-ups sometimes seen in build threads.

Like this one: https://club.alembicguitars.com/index.php?topic=7008.0

This is not an item that was made here. I've contacted the seller - thanks for the heads up!
