I have that detail on the workorder - to seek bluest paua for the circular portion of the logo. We will do our best.

It depends on the font. Just tell me the font names you're interested in (and of course what you want engraved). Some things are appropriate for the push type engraving we do, others are better suited for the rotary style engraving done at the trophy shops.

As Jack Bruce would have sang...I\m glad (3x).
One less thing to get obsessed over.
I\ll look forward to the photo upcoming.
Thank you. -Rich

?   Brass Truss Rod Cover w/engraving:?.. 1st and middle name, (preferred), - or initials of my wife.  
Engrave on top side: ?   Sheila Marie or her initials S.M. (watch spelling on her first name.. boy does she get mad!... not Shelia or Shiela  
 
 
reverse side:    ?   Brandon & Nicholas or?  ?The Boys? ? whichever fits best.
 
?   Magneto (bold?) script is what I was thinking on both (sides).
 
I can pay directly to Alembic for this work if you like. Thanks Rich

Rich - this is a fabulous looking instrument!
 
I noticed in the changes/additions section that you've requested a very blue shell for the logo inlay.  Brilliant minds... I did the same for my custom Essence.  Blue LEDs as well?

rjmsteel

yep...  
Brian, just keep in mind Mica said she\d try to keep the bluest shell paua. That could change, (colors), as they obtain/sand the shell material for the inlay. My hopes are for the bluest possible and thanks a lot too.

This is going to be an amazing instrument, Rich.

I'm a bit of a font-freak, and Leslie Cabarga is a favorite (I have most of his books!). I'll have to check with James on the engravability of Magneto.  
 
A little concerned about the look of the lower case e in Sheila Marie - I'm afraid it might end up looking more like Shcila Maric
 
Streamline is similar, and doesn't have the lowercase confusion at the small size.  
 
Mark Simonson's Coquette is also kinda mid-century, but with a totally different vibe.

rjmsteel

Streamline... yep. That one is a keeper. Definitely use her name and NOT just her initials.  
 
Streamline also on the reverse side. thanks Mica, I was sure you knew more than I about the fonts.

Drilled, and preset (sorry for chopping the upper horn off in this image):

And the last step before re-entering spray:

 Inlay zone!  Ok... I peeked:
