No breaks on the neck, though. jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3389 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, June 21, 2013 - 4:22 am:    ouch! graeme jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3511 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, June 21, 2013 - 5:11 am:    Although I can't be too hipocritical bacause I've modified one of my alembics, this does not seem a tasteful modification. I wonder if it's the same one that appeared on you tube a while back.

I wouldn't wish that on any instrument - especially an Alembic. Maybe the seller is charging more because of the trendy "relic" treatment, similar to what several major instrument makers are currently doing - ? jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3513 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, June 21, 2013 - 11:40 am:    I think this is the same guitar I was thinking about. It looks similar and same year and same country, Australia in the advert and you tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk8-DNeLn68 jazzyvee (Message edited by jazzyvee on June 21, 2013) cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1516 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, June 21, 2013 - 11:50 am:    The listing says "...in great condition...." ????????????!!!!!!!!!

Okay now I'll back off... the guy obviously has no Idea what he has (or I should say had) and why they merit their current pricetags, and how everything he did to it has essentially nullified that value, aside from the beautifuly crafted wooden shell in which those unfortunate humuckers now lay... factor in the fact that he was also unaware that if the thing was in mint and original condition it still would be about $2000 less than his asking price, and then you get what we have here... cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1517 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2013 - 2:50 pm:    I'm afraid, Sam, that I could not resist the urge to click the e-mail button on the listing & tell him pretty much exactly that; doesn't make me a Bad Person, does it?

We were all noobs at one point or another.
