I found it on a japanese site. http://www8.plala.or.jp/alembic/gallery_jaku-ren.html Somehow, this doesn't seem like a genuine article? jazzyvee chalkie Junior Username: chalkie Post Number: 12 Registered: 6-2009 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 9:42 am:    HAHAHA Did you look at the red "Alembic" after that. What a coincidence, because it is number 81 0165 as well! I guess "Alembic" thought they were twins, and gave them the SAME SERIAL ??? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8230 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 1:40 pm:    I translated the page, and it appears that the red guitar is the original, and the top guitar is the same guitar after it was modified. The translation was not good enough to determine why it was modified. Hopefully, one of our Japanese members will notice this thread and translate for us. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 2247 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 1:07 am:    I remember there was a thread on this one, here at the club. Can't remember where ... room037 Advanced Member Username: room037 Post Number: 281 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 4:37 am:    Hi, I reported here. It means Alembic's Filter tone is most important for the sound.

Curious.
