Check out the eye bolts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-ALEMBIC-DISTILLATE-4-STRING-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-RIGHT-HANDED-/331477413832?pt=Guitar&hash=item4d2d97efc8 lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5964 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2015 - 8:12 am:    O.K., now I'm upset! When I planned my Custom Further with Susan, she never mentioned the variable wheel or kill toggle options! And I certainly would have gone for the eyelet strap locks if given the choice! hehehehe Bill, tgo wookie Advanced Member Username: wookie Post Number: 215 Registered: 8-2010 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2015 - 8:32 am:    Meh, as long as its the same diameter and threading it'd be fine. Looks like a "window licker" did it though. tomhug Intermediate Member Username: tomhug Post Number: 165 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Friday, February 13, 2015 - 10:54 am:    Easy fixes. Good bones. There's a lot of life left, and pretty easy restore pure Alembic goodness if someone wanted to. Seems weird that it would have an EMG preamp, but still sport Alembic pickups. Not sure 2K is where I'd start if I actually wanted to sell it, though. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1830 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2015 - 4:23 am:    D'Angelico fan though I am, I still don't think the fact that John D. used eyebolts for strap buttons makes it a good adea. Mebbe the ring on the concentric knob is the variable wheel? Got to wonder just how bad things are in there...... Peter
