Fantastic top. The back's not too bad either. Will it be getting wood cavity covers?

Every time Mica warns that she's got new pictures to post, I think I'm prepared - but I never am.  I just love everything about this guitar.  It's amazing to see a dream become reality before your very eyes.
 
Jacko - the electronics, battery, and truss rod plates are all continuous wood.  How could I do anything else with this Coco Bolo?!?

Astounding Cocobolo
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Unlike some of the top woods I've seen on alembics, I think Cocobolo is the one that makes any alembic body shape, guitar or bass, look much more impressive.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

With the sealer, the top is really three dimensional!
