Nice Distillates unfortunately offered at Series I prices.

1984 Distillate: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-ALEMBIC-DISTILLATE-Birdseye-Maple-Top-Electric-guitar-Free-Shipping-/222190238234?hash=item33bb91fa1a:g:YkEAAOSw0fhXjEwV

My guess is the prices aren't too bad for being in Japan.  I would even consider paying somewhere around the asking price for the 1981 one as it is a Japan only model and not that common.

What is unique about the Japanese Distillates?

That birdseye model looks amazing.

The single pickup with brass control plate was made for export to Japan.   

Thanks Keith! I was not aware that the single pickup Distillates were only exported to Japan.
