Hmmmmmm,nice try but hardly a substitute for the real thing.I sure hope nobody gets suckered in to paying the $2300.00 buy it now price.

Nice try, but NOT! LOL!

Also features a matching maple back cover plate over the electronics cavity
To my eyes, there's no way this maple cover 'matches' the back.
 
graeme

Well, maybe it did match , when the grain was aligned, LOL! Use your imagination and rotate the cover (like a jigsaw puzzle piece) until it fits. The bass isn't bad, but that cover looks like a four-year-old did it.

The back and the cover plate are both wood!  That's sort of a match, I guess.
 
Bill, tgo

This thing is back and look at the buy it now price this time around.Doubtful that it's in the park pricewise for what it's actually worth and still an embarrasment.

The b.i.n. price has dropped to $875.00, can't be that bad for the cost. Also Mighty Mite p/u's are full of output and balance.

If I were truly going to build a tribute to Alembic and the Wickershams, I would at least have  done a full radius on the body, don't you think?
