Bids are now up to $3801...sorry, Bill. Did anybody notice the non-stock JG-style tailpiece...it's finish doesn't quite match the Alembic bridge. Might be (another?) jack of roses piece.

It's a little tough to tell from the photos, but the tailpiece appears to be brass and ebony and more refined than jack of roses. I suppose it could be a mod, but it looks Alembic to me.

Auction ended @ $4500, but the reserve was not met.

The guitar is mine -the tailpiece is Alembic.  I sent it back to the factory 6 months into ownership.  At that visit back home, the electronics were upgraded and the tailpiece was added at my request.  It will be going back on ebay soon.

Hi Ron; thanks for the info!

Is the Tiger medallion OEM Alembic or is it aftermarket?

ron_l

The Tiger is aftermarket made from drawings of Jerry's.  It is mother of perl set in ebony

I'm assuming it's just a medallion...in other words, it's not a stash or electronics compartment cover, it's just a wooden medallion screwed to the top of the guitar.
