This was in my fortune cookie today -
 
 
 
Thankfully the wonderful folks at Alembic share the same sentiment!

I spoke to Mica yesterday & it is getting rubbed & buffed out this week. If all goes well it could be assembled next week! The next pictures will be fully assembled, I can't wait!!

Aw Rusty, now you just HAVE to put ^that^ inspirational memo somewhere in your case...  
 
:sigh: I only have a cheesecake picture of Barbara Eden in the case with my Persuader. :blushing: (because I couldn't find a suitable fortune cookie!)

Peghead was looking really good!
 

 
But our yearning for perfection has required an additional coat of finish on the peghead. Regroup in a couple of days.

Thanks for the tease Mica! Feed your yearning.......I'll wait!

Very liquid! I love it!

They sent the wrong color tuners to Alembic so now we are waiting for the right ones to come in. Hopefully assembly will begin next week.

och aye....hoots mon...........it's no bad aw richt the noo!
Still a braw bricht moonlicht nich the nicht here in Sotland Laddie!!
 
Bass looks ace Rusty
G

I have no idea what you just said George, but thanks, I think!

LOL!!!!!

Now I have a yearning for new pictures!

We had to send your bass back to finish, but James rubbed it out today, will buff again on Monday! That's how these things go, but I know you are glad we are picky.
 
The tuners arrived and they look good - a little darker than the ruthenium, but a close match. I'm so happy that our distributor was able to get these to us so quickly.
 
If all goes well with the buff out and assembly early next week, we should be able to ship as soon as the case arrives, probably first week of December. Home stretch!
 
Only picture I have is James gently placed an inlay he was cutting on your beautifully sanded blue for contrast.  

Hey Mica, thanks for the update. I'm glad y'all are picky! Picky = Perfection! Hopefully the buff out will go well & they can start assembling next week. I can't wait to see the finished pictures! Nice inlay!

Hey Mica, when you get a chance can you take a picture of the hardware & tuners together & post it or email it to me so I can see how close the color is? I know they aren't an exact match, just curious how close they are.  
 
Thanks!
Rusty

Hey Mica, did we survive the 2nd buff out?
