Lots of Alembics have come in at GCs all over USA (I am not affiliated with them in any way).

Just called the Florida Talahassee shop - the guitar is a 77 series 1.  Asked them to post pix of more than the back of the headstock - not for me, but may be a good deal for someone at $3500 depending on condition and what it comes with.

yet more are in at GC

Theres no pic there but they just listed this....Seems like it could be a steal!?!

I would call them and ask for a picture and full disclosure of condition. I recently called about one of these and was told about major damage .

Im not looking to buy, But they have 5 star condition on it not sure what there system is for grading though... definitely would inquire before buying. But you can always return it local, if it turns out to be not what you thought it was.
