Ok I looked at the file and except for the top wood I had it right..
The top & back are made of Myrtle and the peghead veneers are indeed Zebrawood.
The scale lenght is 24 & 5/8
Completion date was 6/8/78

Valentino,
 
You da man!
 
Kendall,
 
Welcome to this group.  Your guitar is beautiful, I can only imagine how great it sounds.
 
I've been known to strum a guitar from time to time, and I agree with you, Alembics are the finest I've ever played.  It's always nice to have another guitarist aboard. We're becoming a small but mighty force in our own rights.
 
Again, welcome.

So the scale length is 1/8 less than a typical Gibson?!?!? Weird~ any explanation for that?

Beautiful guitar Kendall!  There's quite a contingency of those six string piccolo basses building here.

Thanks valvil, I appreciate the effort.  
Actually, my brother bought it over a year ago on ebay, and thought it was a bass. He was so frustrated, it sat for a year. I had no interest in even seeing it. I went with him to a music store to help him negotiate the guitar for an alembic bass they had up there, the guy plugged it in, and I never negotiated so hard before in my life, cause I decided that guitar was MINE. PERIOD. NO TAKE BACKS! And the rest is history.

Your guitar is very nice indeed and in great shape for its age. You are right alembics are the nicest things in the world.
 
 have fun playing
