Danno, I love your 7 string Fretless Spoiler with the Crown Headstock- if I were to get a 7 string Alembic, that's just about exactly what it would look like- except maybe it would have a slightly different body shape...  Hmn... now you've got me thinking, and this is a bad thing because I don't have the money for a custom, right now!
 
By the way, Danno, we just got word about a show at Uncle Mike's in NYC- we're also waiting on a few other shows before we venture up that way- any recommendations?
 
Pace- cheater- but I don't blame you- is it a Groove Tools Conklin?  Those look pretty cool- they remind me of the Yamaha TRB 6, neck thru model, but with an extra string and cooler colors...
 
Roberto, I'm sure you're very excited about your killer 7- it's getting closer, isn't it?  I hope it is finished this week!!!
 
Peace;)

Roberto, Im curious about the different size pups.... did they have to custom mold the slanted one?!? Is one going to be a fatboy?  
 
 
Hey Frank!
 
 Actually mine's a Ravenwest that was the victim of a cease-desist suit over it's headstock shape..... 35 Maple & Walnut stringers w/ Ash wings. I traded back an 8-string which I originally bought from them for it (wasn't happy w/ the electronics noise).... I also have a 6'er from them w/ Walnut wings. The 7 is definitely a workhorse and a keeper, as I'm sure Roberto's Rouge will be!!!  
 
If I was to do an Alembic 7, I envision a 32 Zebrawood bookmatched-to-center Dragon Wing...

pace,
the string width above the bridge pickup requires an AXY7 sized pickup.While the neck area is fine with an AXY56.
Yes,the AXY7 will be a Fatboy.
regards,
rob

any updates, mica?
thanks.

I saw your bass getting the frets put in, so we are more than halfway through the finish process - yay!
 
This photo is from a couple of weeks ago, after the holes were drilled for the electronics:

The Lacewood figure opens up really nice along the lower edge.
