Beautiful! If it didn't have the trem on there I would be jumping to buy this one off you! I still would probably bite at the right price.

Well let's see - to get rid of the trem you'd have to fill the wood and then put on a bridge, sustain block and tailpiece.

Wow. I wonder how pinch harmonics and dive-bombs sound thru SI pickups..... if its too shrill I guess you could just rip them out and put some Duncan Screamin' Demons or EMG-85's in there....  
 
Joking aside, thats a wonderful Alembic, Dan!... I have the same Kahler on one of my Guilds... do you recall what it's mounted on?!? It looks like it's atop a plate of some kind....  Best thing about broken in Alembics is that they're almost always cheaper than the $18.5K ones!!!!!

Its on the original wood. I think I was planning on pulling it out when I did a metal fingerboard.

Metal fingerboard? You mean like this?

OK, I can't get the image link to work, but you can follow it to see what I'm talking about.

Well... I think so. Maybe.

When I read that, I pictured something like McVie's stainless steel board that Susan calls constantly fretted; 4th post down on this thread.

That's exactly what it is; McVie had one, I had the other. But mine fell apart, in 1981.

Hey Dan, ever come up with an asking price? I played a very nice (but incredibly overpriced) small body series I guitar at Rudy's in NYC last month, and it made me really want one! Whole different world from my standard point body in terms of size, balance, and weight.

How much was it?
