The Alembic price list puts it at $4400. Who would want a new one, when for only a few hundred dollars more you can get a used one and enjoy all the fun and excitment of sending a boatload of bucks to a stranger and hoping your guitar arrives? Of course he may be legit - the seller may have paid a $2000 upcharge for side LEDs. Yea right!

Nice looking guitar, though. Peace Tom adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1071 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 03, 2006 - 8:39 am:    Side leds aren't cheap either. But definitely overpriced if it is a second-hand. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 778 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, October 03, 2006 - 8:44 am:    This is a case where a little knowledge can be dangerous. paulman Intermediate Member Username: paulman Post Number: 106 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, October 03, 2006 - 9:41 am:    Hmmm, that listing looks exactly like the pics here: http://www.guitarstudiousa.com/Products/Electric/Alembic/index.htm Locale checks out, but it's still too much for me.
