Just stumbled on this pic on a Google "Images" search for Alembic
http://www.gruhn.com/photo/EZ4787.jpg

Obviously not an Alembic, but I thought some would find this interesting, they even have what seems to be a real logo on this one.

Wow, I stand corrected then... but that is bizarre... do you know when it was made by any chance.

This guitar was made for Johnny Winter. Here is a previous thread with a different picture.

From the serial number, 1975. I think it's a beautiful instrument.

I'm pretty sure they do,Mica once said they keep all of their old templates just in case they have to remake something of old or unusual again.

Thanks for these pictures of my favorite Alembic ever, the Johnny Winter guitar. Now you can see where the inspiration for my Series II bass comes from!
