Sunburst indeed. Featured Custom Pinot makes an appearance! I had forgotten about it, but this one almost swayed me to the old-school fan headstock.
 
Love ^that^ zebrawood Series with tree-of-life inlay too.

The left spoiler is ALEMBIC which I ordered for the first time.
When Mica and Ron and Susan came to Japan 28 years ago, I ordered it.
Mica was in its teens, and I was 20 years old in those days.
The sequence of unique pickup is an idea of Susan.
This spoiler is a hollow body.

The electric circuit of series 1 of the vintage enjoys a vacation in Santa Rosa of the hometown.

Thank you Rusty, the sunburst is indeed stunning. It is after all, Alembic. As a fan of "painted" Alembics, I'm sure your Orca is a work to behold also.
We are a lucky bunch in that we recognize and get to own and play such quality.

To Alembicians everywhere, salute!

Wow, I'd like to see the 6 string Classico and Shoji's unique Spoiler on close ups...
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!
