I am new to the Alembic scene.  Right after I bought this Essence, along comes a delicious Rogue that I just had to have.  The Essence needs to move out.  It is in amazing condition for its age, must have been a case queen most of its life.  I put in a New battery, new Alembic strings and she is a pleasure to play and sounds great.  All the details are in the classified following the link (Mods -- I hope this is OK.)  Looking for $2150 shipped.
