I am wondering if this peghead looks proper. It is from a 1988 Persuader (serial # 88P5017, with a quilted maple top). I haven't seen a Persuader or Spoiler with the name "Alembic" printed on it before. The bass looks like the real thing, but the headstock just looks odd. I have attached a picture of the body and the headstock. Any thoughts?.   | ||

Sometime in the late 80's(I think) they started putting the name "Alembic" under the symbol. It should look the same as the "logo" when you log onto the main site. I don't know if some of the originals are "printed" but the current version is brass(?)>>unless you're getting sterling silver etc, like the logo. | ||

The logo and script on this Persuader is bronze. The earliest Spoilers had a silver printed decal with the name "Spoiler" written under the logo. What a revolt that started! We quickly corrected this, and I there are fewer than a hundred like that. Persuders never had a printed decal or the model name on the bass. I don't know the exact date we started putting the name under the logo, but I think it was the late 80s as well. Some people have had us add it on older ones, and others special order new ones without it. Nice looking Quilted Maple. |
