For sale: Alembic baritone electric guitar (Orion model) -- $3200. If my information is correct, this is still available from Alembic as a custom order, with a price of about $6400. Mine was made in 1996, It is in excellent condition -- it has mostly been a "safe queen." This specific guitar was appraised at $5500, in current condition, by Elderly Instruments in 2009. Again, I am asking $3,200 (i.e., 50% of the price to order a new one), plus actual cost of shipping by the carrier/method chosen by the buyer (and it will be superbly packed). I will certainly respectfully consider monetary offers, but no trades, please. I am new to this board, but have 100% positive feedback on ebay as douglas1951, and longtime Charter Member status as douglas51 on the Acoustic Guitar Forum, where photos of my Alembic are posted here: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410032&highlight=alembic The photos are also available from me by email. The guitar comes with a Fender hard case which fits it perfectly. Quoting the Alembic website: "There are so many great uses for a baritone. It's a great tool for songwriters: work on leads and bass lines without shifting instruments. We can't think of a more perfect rhythm guitar. Layer on the effects and get prepared for some wicked tone. You never heard drop tunings sound so good." Also: "The gutsy baritone sound is an appropriate addition to all kinds of music, from country and blues, to grunge, heavy metal and pure rock and roll."
