Nice looking Zebrawood Series guitar up on GBase at Retrofret Vintage Guitars for what would appear to be a reasonable price. Looks to be in great shape other than what 's described as a small stress crack in what appears to be a somewhat unusual headstock style for Alembic.

Was hoping no one from the club would see this one yet... wanted to keep it to myself a little while longer, lmao
(as I run out the door to buy some scratch offs)
hahah..... uggg
In all seriousness though, beautiful guitar!
The listing says all original, but the tan HX makes me think the black p/ups may be newer. Also, are there no strap buttons? Though I assure it's my bank account, not either of these things, that keeps me from grabbibg it - sweet guitar!

I've seen Alembics with flush mounted Dunlop strap locks. I can't tell from the pictures if this is the case here or not.

Does anyone know what became of Dave 'marmaduke' Dawson's guitar? It was 6 in line, but I don't recall what woods were used..... Nice guitar, nice price, I wish there were pics of the crack...
That would be John Marmaduke Dawson; I don't know where his is, but this one isn't it - note different grain & vine inlay

Oooppps....that would've been one too many Dave's in the NRPS lineup!!!!
John Marmaduke Dawson passed in 2009. We opened for NRPS in early 90s. I was lucky enough to get Dawson to sign my beat up old NRPS song book at that gig. Great songwriter!
