I'd say it's a very good imitation. The headstock doesn't look right and the top horn has a scroll which I don't believe I've ever seen on an Alembic before. I could be wrong though - it's happened before. graeme 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 816 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 8:24 am:    A Hyak perhaps? bigideas Member Username: bigideas Post Number: 92 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 8:53 am:    if you look very closely at the headstock it does appear to possibly have a Dolan logo. the little eye al la: http://www.steelguitarblackbox.com/page12/page17/files/page17-1000-full.html keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 932 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 9:29 am:    that guy is louis Johnson (the brothers johnson).......,the guitar photos on the above link looks like the builder could possibly be a former alembic employee???... 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 348 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 11:15 am:    That looks like the Alembic guitar once owned by Johnny Winter. bigideas Member Username: bigideas Post Number: 93 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 12:34 pm:    the second picture (the close resemblance) keavin posted IS the guitar once owned by Johnny Winter tbrannon Intermediate Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 156 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 12:35 pm:    Nice find Keavin- Gotta love the Brothers Johnson. Louis looks like "Mista Cool" there. That must be his "Get the Funk out Ma Face" look! keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 933 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 2:29 pm:    http://louisjohnson.info/ room037 Intermediate Member Username: room037 Post Number: 127 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 5:13 pm:    I remember, the single cutaway bass was discussed on here and it has same logo.
