Here is a small body with an omega cut. It's the only one of those I've ever seen... I can't recall seeing a Spoiler or Persuader with one. | ||

On second thought... that has the small body shape, but it's actually larger isn't it? | ||

One could call that a Medium body shape, that for reasons beyond the scope of this post did not really catch on.  There's a Featured Custom pair of SC & 3/4 MK, both with a Stinger cut, Dynamic Duo. | ||

Member daved recently posted a pic of his Scorpion. Well, technically it's a Distillate, but the outline is similar to a Spoiler, and it has a heart omega so that should give you some idea. | ||

Very nice.I wonder about the cost for this with Rogue setup,34"neck w/ebony laminates and coco bolo (with lots of red)top.Not decided on body wood yet.I could go on and on.I'll probably come up with something completely different tomarrow........... | ||

Actually . . . the bigredbass is technically a Spoiler (2 AXY-4's, later traded out to FatBoy 4's, with a volume, tone, 4-way rotary selector plus a 1-way Q-Switch), but . . . . It's a Series shape with the Omega cutout, Crown Five peghead, deluxe laminates (3 purpleheart stripes), mahogany wings and quilt maple top and peghead faces. And it's see-thru red. It looks essentially like any Series-shaped five-string elsewhere in these pages, just with a LOT fewer knobs. It's 34" scale, so it's a long reach to first position even for a 44Long like me. And like all of these, it's a tad head heavy, but you learn how to hold it. It has the 'classic taper' neck, whereby it can use the 4-string pickups: For the 'comfort' (wider flare) taper, you'd use the 5/6 string shells. I always think it must have been on its way to being a Series but got changed, except it's all solid, without the large routs/chambers a Series would have. Of course, that look is totally Alembic (except it's red . . . . ). The terrific thing about that shape is that it REALLY allows you to play up the neck with nothing in the way, almost Steinberger-esque in the way the upper neck is just right there in front of you.
