USED ALEMBIC / 1981 Distillate Guitar [20]

The 1981 Allen & Bick Distillate Guitar, which took the world by storm
This is a brand sought after by many for its distinctive guitars, featuring a through-neck construction, proprietary active circuits, and exotic woods.
The top features beautifully grained zebrawood, and thanks to the through-neck construction, zebrawood is also used on the back of the headstock.
The controls include volume and frequency controls, while the mini-switches serve as a filter or tone selector, a mellow filter, and a bass cut.
Based on the serial number, it is believed to have been manufactured in 1981.

It shows significant weather checking overall, with some paint chipping in places.
There are multiple areas of paint chipping on the headstock corners and body sides, and some parts show rust or peeling plating.
