Medium scale Series 1. Would like any information available regarding the build. It's a recent purchase.
Congrats, close to my 207 Zebrawood, wonder if it is zebrawood under that black paint :)
It was included with the case.
Top and Back: Goncalo Alves
Core: Mahogany
Neck: Maple, Peroba Rosa
Ebony board
They have it listed as a LSB but it is MSB. 😀
Wow, that's some unusual wood. It would be cool to see what it looks like under that paint!

Images of Goncalo Alves are stunning!
Maybe eventually I will get it back to the original finish. The black looks good and it was well done. BTW, there was nothing wrong with the bridge pickup as I suspected. Just needed a stereo cord hooked up.😀

Nice!! Glad the gamble paid off, congrats!
Yeah, every time a listing is selling an Alembic Series 1 or 2 and says the bridge pickup "isn't working", I always figure it's at least a 50% chance that they're just not familiar with the stereo cable. It's tempting to take the risk, since sellers usually knock the price down because of this! I once bought an instrument where the bridge pickup really was dead, though >:( , so it doesn't always work out!
