April Featured Custom "Falling Leaves"

Gosh. This is incredible. I've got a bad case of bass envy. Love the burl and the thick maple body accent. In addition, at least in the photo, the walnut in the neck creates an optical illusion for me and suggests I'm looking through the neck to the jarrah burl body laminate.

The logo inlay is breathtaking, a splendid addition to an already amazing instrument!
Heartfelt congratulations, Pierre.....
Chris
Correction: there is 'much' money to be made above the fifth fret....

Another masterpiece...
 
The inlay work is incredible and the helicopter seed suggests a mirror image of the classic Alembic bird tailpiece - a nice subtle touch.

The bass thanks you for all your touching comments. I feel very blessed, but I must pay essential tribute to the Alembic family, and particularly to Susan that worked wonders with the inlays and all the rest ;-)
I think that the motto Beyond Custom is truly very fitting!
