Looks like the only thing Alembic on this dumpster fire are the pickups; which are mounted incorrectly.

Orion Clone - Quilted Maple sounds and plays great | Reverb

It amazes me how much wiggle room some people offer themselves in their descriptions.

It does have strings ... just like an Alembic does!

Bill, tgo

Before surgery, this used to be a mid-priced Yamaha.  I'm surprised they left the 'Olympic' decal off the head.

LOL!!!!

Well, my Orions have always sounded clean and refined, but, i'm sure I just heard them both screaming obscenities as I opened the link.  🫣🤬I think some TLC is due later.

Same.  I've been half-ass looking for a fretless Orion or one that I would have converted.  I can't decide if I want a 4 or 5 string, hence the current "half-ass" approach.  I've stumbled upon some things on Reverb.  Things like the topic of this thread.
