Another Spoiler for sale with a Crown headstock and Ivory colored pickups but $3,000 for a Spoiler? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330656969296+ It seems that each new advertisement is jacking up the price of the previous one by $500. |

Rumble Seat has had this Spoiler forever. I think they may have it for a long time at $3200. Looks to be pretty beat up, too. http://www.rumbleseatmusic.com/vintage%20guitar%20pic%20pages/83AlembicSpoiler.html |

The one on the 'bay looks pretty cool to me! Those white pickups give it a totally different look! |

I have a custom essence 5 in black with leds for sale @ $2500 if the spoiler seems steep. Don't believe in being greedy at the holidays. |

Has anybody here seen white pickup covers on a Spoiler before? Is that a custom factory option or something aftermarket? |

We made them and will make them on special request. Tough they historically are more of a cream color, white is now available. All of the colors tend to brown-age. |

Thanks Mica. I've seen the older cream ones, but this is the first bright white I've encountered. |

It's no longer $3K! It's been relisted and jacked up to $3500.00! Wow---good strategy! |

Here's a reasonably priced Spoiler. At least I thought it was until I read further. Then my stomach began to get upset. Why oh why would someone do this to an Alembic? The additional routing is a mystery to me. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/msg/3013699602.html |
