This was published over the summer, I rarely read Relix and had never seen this guitar before. Wonder if a permanent owner has been found yet? The club member who now owns Mission Control was taking care of it temporarily.

So, of late we've had a Pretzel & a Peanut; is there an Alembic "Beer" guitar out there?

Mica, is the s/n on this one known?  I'd guess it has to be lower than 10, right?

If I were to guess I would think that the Pretzel pre dates serial numbers.

Really great post, seeing these old guitars is amazing!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

This was made in '71. More of a Turner guitar than an Alembic per se. I remember seeing another pretzel guitar at SFMOMA about 18 years ago. Cool creations!
