Olie -  
 
Your daughter is beautiful  - congratulations to you and her and her Mom.
 
And you've inspired me - I've got two daughters and I'm sure I'll have to deal with this in the next 5 to 10 years . . . if I can persuade Kathy I need a new custom for each wedding, I may make it through okay

Here's a photo of the cross inlay that I promised you:

Looks even more amazing in person.

Thanks Mica, it looks great.  
I wasn't expecting you back to work this week.
I trust all is well with the kiddo.

Glad you like it! I'm actually at home still, taking care of the wee one. He's doing great, and I should be back at least half days next week.

Done is the word:

 

  I hear you may be pretty busy this coming weekend! Please call us when you receive the bass so we know it arrived safely.

Yoweee!  That's a very beautiful bass guitar you got there.  Congratulations.  Worth the wait, huh?  Enjoy it and report back to the rest of us droolers in cyberland.

I'm speechless.
 
YEP, the wife's gone from Friday until Monday evening so I have the WHOLE weekend to get acquainted with this baby!

Olie,
 
     That's a beaut.  It's one of the few Alembics with omegas that I actually like (I'm not an omega fan, but to each his/her own).  And I really dig that body shape.  I'm sure she'll play and sound great!
 
Best regards,
 
Alan

Hi Mica, I was curious as to when we would start going over the neck inlays. I know we're pretty far off on that but I would like to get a rough idea of the cost.  
 
Thanks, Olie

You should probably talk to Susan pretty soon. She'll be in the office after about 1:00 tomorrow. Let me know if you want us to call you then.

Any ideas on these yet? I am really interested if we're going to be able to do a crucifix inlay or will we have to do a plain cross.

Mica, may I get someone to call me about the inlays please. I've tried calling and emailing to no avail. I?ve had a serious change of mind on the inlays.
If you prefer that I call you please post here when is best and I will call you.  
Seems like we've hit a road block on the bass. If there has been or is a problem please let me know.
 
Thanks, Olie
