This is a very nice looking Epic, lovely flaming on the top whic I guess is Maple, I think it's reasonably priced too.

Very nice looking top. I don't think it's Maple. The listing says Flamed Walnut.
Someone should inform him the lemon oil is for the neck.
Talk about a fine smelling instrument...
all my lines are lemony-fresh

This is such a good price, and - since it's in EU - I wouldn't have to pay duties/taxes... And I have NO MONEY at the moment!!! Even if I sold my Nexus I wouldn't be able to save up... AAAAARGH!!!!!
I have to repeat the Alembic mantra... Again and again and again...
There will always be another one. There will always be another one. There will always be another one...
It doesn't look like a Pau ferro fingerboard either. I'd say more likely to be a figured ebony as that was standard on the epic.

looks like John 'Whitecloud' might be showing interest in this aswell as Georgieboy. Hope one of them gets it - that'd keep it in Scotland at least.

Sold for ?825. Was that you George?
Graeme
No it wasn't me.
I had a limit of ?800--no more.
Hope it's still in the country somewhere.
There... will... always... be... another... one...
