Thank to Alembic for building such great intruments. bluplirst Intermediate Member Username: bluplirst Post Number: 128 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, July 25, 2011 - 7:25 pm:    The only prescription is More Cowbell! billostech Intermediate Member Username: billostech Post Number: 165 Registered: 1-2011 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 5:37 am:    Congrats Eric !!!

Here's some pictures for your eyes! tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1412 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 8:15 am:    Is that a solid, one piece body? I love it... pretty slick Excel too!! fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1286 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 8:39 am:    Pretty sure it's solid Koa Extremely nice! I've owned two of these old Spoilers (stupid me sold one once...) and somehow -imho- their sound and playability exceeds anything I've ever played. I love the Decal, would that be a current custom option? (Mica?) Congrats! erixxst Junior Username: erixxst Post Number: 41 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 8:56 am:    From what i've found the decal was a standard option on +- 50 first spoiler made. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1742 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 11:09 pm:    This is from the VERY first run of Spoilers; they had an ALEMBIC decal: Never been used again, before or since. Cool ! J o e y erixxst Junior Username: erixxst Post Number: 43 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 - 5:35 am:    I really like to know her rank in the spoilers history. Is there anyway to find out? Or is there some owner with an older serial#? fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1287 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 - 7:47 am:    The first in my list is (was, thanx!) 82S2194 If I'm not mistaken (it's likely I am) the first 50 or so, had the decal and the first 100 or so, were Solid Koa. The decal was not an option, they just came with it (until people started complaining) Mine is 83S2674 and the one I sold is 83S2433 It’s difficult to determine the rank since they not only made Spoilers back then. With yours it's a bit easier since it is one of the first ones -> the oldest known to the club according to my list. :-) erixxst Junior Username: erixxst Post Number: 45 Registered: 3-2010 Posted on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 - 10:41 am:    Thank Flip, Let me know when you updated mine in your list so i can a have look with the mention first known of the spoilers ;-)
