I saw your beautiful Classico when I visited the factory on Jan 3rd.  It's nothing short of breathtaking.  I believe it is still in the finishing stages.

yeah i was kind of assuming it was. i'm guessing the whole finish process will take longer than on the other basses/guitars. thanks, brian.

Still has a little time left in finish, and it just gets prettier and prettier every day!

I stopped by the mothership this morning on my way back from court in Santa Rosa.  Saw your Classico.  Absolutely gorgeous!

Nevermind, I just read this entire post from the beginning & am now fully schooled in bumping! WOW! What a build! I'm sure it will be worth every second of the wait when you get it Austin! I waited 49 years to get my dream Alembic! I'm visiting the factory in June, if your bass is still there I'll take pictures for you!

When I win the lottery I am going to get a Classico, I cannot play d-bass to save my life but wouldn't it look great as a piece of furniture, a great talking point when people come around for drinks.
THAT is one seriously nice piece of woodcraft.

Will do Patrick! That is going to be one beautiful guitar when it's done! I love the pattern in the Coco Bolo!! My SC is Coco Bolo too, the pictures really do not begin to do this wood justice! I was literally speechless when I opened the case the 1st time! All I could say was Oh my God...Oh my God!!! http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/97845.html?1299023458

As of today, I'm feeling pretty confident about a mid-May birthday for this beauty.

I can't wait to see this one done! This has to be one of the COTM in the coming months. Breath deep, Austin.
