As some of you know, a few weeks ago, I went to my Mail Drop to pick up 75-207 and discovered that someone had swapped its label onto a cheap pair of shoes. The investigation into that is ongoing.
On a brighter note, I unboxed 76-569 today. This time, no shoes!

Wow, really nice! Long scale I guess? Really like that yellow-ish looks.
Just curious, isn't that pickup switch on the point models in the way when slapping? It's so close to the neck.
The bridge looked a little high to be a long scale to me, but I measured and it's 34". I don't do a lot of slapping, so I don't mind the old-school pickup selector.
This one looks like it's Birdseye/spalted maple on a maple core with walnut stringers and a birch center strip. It sounds incredible.
I love the birdseye maple combined with the aged 70s finish! Maybe my favorite Alembic "look". Congratulations!!
Nice! Doing a double take here, it's a close cousin to 75-254. :)
