These are all before cleaning.  Some of you have suggested that I leave the metal original.  So, I have not done anything to it.  I have not applied the lemon oil to the fretboard yet either.  See the showcase area for the rest of the pictures.  Thanks again for all the help and support.

Thats a beauty alright. If it doesn't work out for you, my checkbook still has pages in it.
 
Congrats bud.

Hey Barry:
 
I think I will teach myself the bass.  Just so I can justify buying another Alembic.  It is truly an amazing guitar.  I love the sounds of the Alembic basses also.  Are there very many crossover or dual instrument players around here?

How's this for crossover:
 

 
It's a '75 Series I - the 6-string is actually a baritone tuned A-A, midway between bass and guitar. The guy on the right is Ron Wickersham, the genius behind the Alembic electronics and sound!
 
And I don't mean to distract from your guitar - it looks great! Congrats once again! And welcome to the club/family!

Thanks Harry.  It must have really been a pleasure to actually have Ron play wishbone with you.  He is a living legend.  So about the basuitar, can you play (it) them both...simultaneously, poorly or well?  That is a joke from Barry.  Thanks again.
