I've been trying to find a good on-line business card printer and found this "alembic?" in one of the templates. It clearly has not got alembic pickups but the rest of the guitar that is visible, bridge, tailpiece, hippie sandwich, switches and through neck laminates looks very alembic. Any idea's of the model? http://www.zazzle.co.uk/immaculate_discipline_chubby_business_cards-240683216858185148 JAzzyvee |

I was going to guess Distillate, but then I was thinking that if it's an Alembic, it may have been a custom order. Perhaps a small body with Europa controls. But then I noticed that the neck pickup is right up against the fretboard, leaving no room for the truss rod cavity; so I'm guessing it's not an Alembic. |

If you look closely at the wood grain, you can see that the guitar in the card above is the same guitar as in Dave's second link, above. In fact, it looks like the same pic to me. Bill, tgo |
