Just one more before I go on vacation:

Until I get back, there won't be much different looking as your guitar get several more coats of spray. I didn't get a picture of the mini dot inlays James did before the fingerboard got taped up for spray, but they do look cool.

congratulations joseph! it's one of the most beautiful, dramatic-yet-understated instruments i've seen in my first year in the club. the top and back are spectacular, and the body accents work perfectly with the two substantial purpleheart neck lams

is the fingerboard purpleheart as well?

Thanks guys for all the wonderful comments. No the fingerboard is ebony with small dot inlays. Its wierd that this is my first Alembic, I haven't even played it yet and I am planning on the next one already. Mica I hope you have a great vacation and to all my fellow Alembic brothers, have a happy holiday season.

Hello Joey,

I thought you might appreciate a little Christmas present; I am not as experienced as Mica in taking pictures of instruments, but I think you get the idea. She'll be there waiting when you get back.

Wow!! Beautiful guitar!!
Ever since I saw Jonathan's coco bolo guitar I've been wondering what it would look like in maple. I see that it is amazing. Congratulations and enjoy.

I'll tell you...of all the guitars I ever have owned, currently own, or even have seen, this is by far my favorite shape. I echo Tom Z's sentiments. The petite body lends itself so well to the almost cloud-like quality of that quilted maple. Wait until you play it Joey. If you throw on one of the 4 Moody straps, this thing is as light as a feather. Enjoy!

Regards,

Jonathan

Thanks Valentino you just made my day. I am speechless. She is more beautiful than I pictured her. I will be home in just a little over 2 weeks and I will be thinking of her everyday.

Hi me again. Man I can't stop gazing at her. My ears are itching to hear what she sounds like. Valvil you did an excellent job with the photo, thanks again.
