Did someone say Didier? (say "DDA")

Here's a few pictures I've collected along the way. Note that the Quilted Maple is totally awesome. You'll see it soon enough when the finish hits it.   Future top laminate:

  Future back laminate:

I'm here Mica but I don't really like, I prefer natural maple.

Does this finish have a name already? I'd propose charcoal sheen.

When you see something this curvy, and colored in the key of of black it looks are dangerously alluring, and it also makes a very seductively  powerful bass to want, touch, and hold.
 
This bass, will dominate attention over anything within 100ft of its area. That's powerful!
