Very interesting.

(got pulled before I clicked the link) Mica was not so pleased with that one, though I think at $500 it would be a bargain (unless it was stolen from Alembic of course) for Alembic and a great addition to the showroom when finished. I also remember Mica saying that they would love to hold on to the instruments for ten years to see how the wood is settling down, I guess here's their chance :-) Edit: Link (Message edited by fc_spoiler on March 28, 2010) enzo Advanced Member Username: enzo Post Number: 204 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 10:47 am:    Like Mica said, if the factory decide not to finish an instrument, there is a reason, maybe with the wood or who knows. If that was took out with no permission...well... 'nuff said. jedisan Intermediate Member Username: jedisan Post Number: 125 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 3:11 pm:    I'm thinking, at what point in the process does a build get a s/n? Should this one have a s/n, and if so, wouldn't that make it traceable? keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1568 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 28, 2010 - 3:19 pm:    I believe the serial numbers are assigned very close to when an instrument is completed.

After I got my 77 series I guitar, I certainly had the bug to make a hippie sandwich myself. Could have gotten that far, and realized he didn't know how to make a playable instrument, just an eye catching piece of woodwork
