Looks to be in great shape other than what 's described as a small stress crack in what appears to be a somewhat unusual headstock style for Alembic. http://www.gbase.com/gear/alembic-1974-natural-oil-varnish sjhoffma Advanced Member Username: sjhoffma Post Number: 270 Registered: 5-2008 Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 3:20 pm:    Was hoping no one from the club would see this one yet... wanted to keep it to myself a little while longer, lmao (as I run out the door to buy some scratch offs) hahah..... uggg In all seriousness though, beautiful guitar! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1297 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 7:33 pm:    The listing says all original, but the tan HX makes me think the black p/ups may be newer. Also, are there no strap buttons? Though I assure it's my bank account, not either of these things, that keeps me from grabbibg it - sweet guitar!

I can't tell from the pictures if this is the case here or not.

It was 6 in line, but I don't recall what woods were used..... Nice guitar, nice price, I wish there were pics of the crack... cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1299 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 12:48 pm:    That would be John "Marmaduke" Dawson; I don't know where his is, but this one isn't it - note different grain & vine inlay Peter pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 883 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 1:53 pm:    Oooppps....that would've been one too many Dave's in the NRPS lineup!!!! pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 172 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 2:16 pm:    John "Marmaduke" Dawson passed in 2009. We opened for NRPS in early 90s. I was lucky enough to get Dawson to sign my beat up old NRPS song book at that gig. Great songwriter!
