Yeah, but he got ripped off, it had a white pickguard.

The SF CL one is pretty beat up. Also has a replacement pickup up front and a non original guard. I'm considering it.

Wasn't Kenny Howes going for that one?

Considering it ? I thought it was sold. Bloody flakey Craigslist people !!!!

Don't know if Kenny was going for it or not. Ends up the seller is someone I went to high school with. Played in heavy metal bands for a numbe of years. Selling this one to cover rent, which must suck.
When I spoke to him a couple of days ago it had not sold. I'm in the middle of demolishing my kitchen for a remodel so I was not able to make the drive to buy. Also, I don't really have the funds for the restoration I'd like to do on it using my Alembic pickups so I passed.

Seller never returned my email . If it was restorable I would have paid more than the asking price . Not now . Not interested .

I'll call him tomorrow to see if he still has it if you'd like.

Hey Tim,
If those Alembic pickups you have are the RIC replacements, you have gold there my friend.
I've been trying to get a set ordered from Alembic for MONTHS and the CURRENT MSRP is $1300.00 for the BASIC set. I'm ordering a set with Europa electronics (if I can get Alembic to take the order, that is) and its pushing a good deal more that that!

They are indeed, Tony. I did not know they were asking that much for them now though. I was thinking they ran around $400. Mine have a low pass filter, pan, volume, and a 3 way Q switch. Think that makes it Europa electronics also, though it may be Series 1.
If I ever decide to sell...

PLEASE, should you decide to do so Tim, drop me a note to the address in my profile.
Alembic is having some backlog problems as well. Being such a small company, the "main players" if you will are having some baby & health issues that is keeping them from getting the orders out the door.
I've been trying to get these darn things ordered for about 6 months! I even tried working through a dealer in HOPES that they may have some more influence than I.
I'm taking Jeffrey Scott's advice and getting the SF-2 to make the set complete. The only decision now is which RIC to put them in. As long as it is a TOTALLY REVERSIBLE mod, I'm OK with it.

Thanks Tim but I find that lack of communication from a seller frustrating . I will also be out of CA as of tomorrow . Regards , Barry .
