Modulus/Alembic semi-prototype

I have one of these (serial number 0013), and I'm thinking of selling it. Rather than arousing suspicion by posting something in the classifieds as a new member, I thought i would throw the topic out there for discussion. I know it's not the highly desirable BW model, but I'm just curious what you guys think/know/feel about these guitars, whether you have any recommendations about pricing, where it might be good to try to sell it (if not here), and so forth. Unfortunately, since these photos were taken, the finish on the headstock has cracked a bit more, and the dot on the "i" and the top of the "f" have fallen off. It's since been stabilized and won't deteriorate any further.

A disclaimer: I'm not really a Dead fan, but I used to room with Bob Weir's cousin and have heard countless hours of bootlegs. I hope no one is too offended by that admission; I just have to be candid about my lack of knowledge about things Dead-related.

Welcome and thanks for the honesty! There is a unique Model T style Mod/Alembic that has been at $750 for 4 months without any serious bites.

If you don't mind me asking a few questions that may help:
- do you have the tremolo bar? does the trem system work?
- is the body's finish a bit foggy or is it the picture
- what type of pickups are in her? Bartolini?
- how's the brass it looks okay but on it's way downhill?
