Thanks guys. I am really excited.

Can't help myself!
 
Michael, I just can't keep my mouth shut. How is your beautiful guitar sounding and doing these days? I just have to get some chat going in here again as it's been a quiet summer.
 
I love your choices in wood so much and they are the basic combos that I have coming on my Series II bass.  
 
My Quilted Coco Bolo might be cousins with yours so I thought I would share my drooling over your thread pictures here. What a beaut-
 
Hope you are enjoying as I really enjoy the pictures.
 
Aloha, Paul

Paul,
 
It is hard to put into words how much I'm enjoying this instrument. I'm still blown away by the tone, the playability and the electronics, not to mention the absolutely amazing craftsmanship.  
 
I was just at The National Guitar Workshop's Jazz Summit in Connecticut and had to leave by new baby at home. Took the George Benson. But, I really missed my Alembic. I am going to spend some quality time with it this weekend.
 
I am looking forward to seeing yours completed.  
 
Michael

Thanks for the reply Michael. Maybe we'll get something going here! I'm truly happy for ya. Those inlays are amazing and a conversation piece in themselves.
 
Aloha, Paul
