Every now and again you can find something nice at GC for a reasonable price...

I hope you get a nice first Alembic! My first was a mid-'80s Spoiler/Exploiter, I don't have it anymore but I have a mid-'70s doubleneck Series I and a 5-string Stanley Clarke and F-2B preamp and SF-2 Superfilter - addictive? NAH! Now if only I can find that Series I 8-string with my name on it...

Congratulations! Elans are my favorite body shape. Post some pictures when you get it!

Thanks, I am very excited.I also love the Elan body shape.It is a so close second to the modified Rogue body shape that I constantly flip/flop back and forth in my planning.

Karl,

Is the 'modified' Rogue shape you're talking about similar to this one?

I've drooled over that bass/body shape for a couple years!

Yes indeed, that is the one.Will Gunn turned me on to it.Very cool....=)

I have an affinity for Elans that Will Gunn helped with.... http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/411/58550.html?1249617101
