and the heart seems shallower: less a heart than just the two atria, the upper chambers of the heart. so did you request this radical heart surgery?

seriously bruce, it's a spectacular instrument. you picked some amazing cocobolo. congratulations!

Awesome, Bruce! May I suggest some THG custom knobs to set off that bad boy? Roger is not cheap, but his work is good, and the knobs really set off real wood tops. Just my $0.02.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Marc, thanks for the kind words, actually Chip picked out the Coco Bolo for me, I wish I could have gone out to Alembicland as some people have the chance to do....maybe some day.
Actually I looked through all the featured customs and the Alembic store, picked out 4 choices of what I liked in CB ( there were more) and emailed Val the links, Chip did the rest ( THANKs Chip !!)
I know every piece of wood will look different, so the end result was a total surprise, it was easier for me to pick from the look of a finished instrument than just a slab of wood.
The Heart Omega is just standard, Tony's skilled hands are responsable for the beautiful carving.
I picked out all the options myself from the quote maker and let the Alembic Elves do their magic............

Hi Mica,

Mica thanks again for posting all the pictures, I really appreciate it.

What a bummer about one LED not working properly and the fretboard having to be replaced and there was no way else to fix it

thanks for all the information in our phone conversation last week, lots of things I never knew before.

any updates or ETA on my baby ?

best wishes,
Bruce

Hello Bruce,

Ron is working on your upgrade as we speak.
Hopefully he'll be done this week.

Hi Marcky, thanks for the compliment....I thought putting the p/s there was a nice touch. I like that original Alembic / old school look

Hi Val thanks for the update/info........sounds like good news ;o)

woohoo !!

Good grief, is that a thing of beauty or is that a thing of beauty?

?? *Sigh*.....

I too love the look of the pickup switch in that position. Unfortunately the couple of times I played Alembics with it there, it seemed to get in the way, which is why I didn't order it. Looking at yours I kind of wish I had.....
