Nice catch, Jake.  Back before Mark was well known for his archtops, he used to take care of my series 1 in the late 70's. He also built some great basses back then. Not to mention he was quite a player. His guitars are works of art.

Apparently the words Alembic and plagiarism don't appear in the copy writer's (and/or Mr. Campileone's) reference library.
 
Yikes!!

There is a link to the maker's email about this guitar  on the listing where he cites Alembic as a strong inspiration.  It does look nice.

he could've made it nicer by using alembic pickups
