The headstock on this instrument is awesome . I really like that beveled detail.  And the ALEMBIC logo is about the nicest that I have ever seen !  Congratulations !

Mica,  
 
Thanks for lots of stunning pics!
That was much more than I expected, and brought me back from the edge of starvation.
Jumped up for joy, love the logo surrounded with beveled edge, and deeply detailed colorful inlays......
Can't wait to see my baby!
Again, thanks Mica for your time and efforts.

Imagine waking up in the morning and finding this object next to the coffee machine...
 
One thing for sure, you wouldn't need any coffee that day...

Even if I lived in the hidden mountains of New Guinea, I would travel to Santa Rosa to get that bass!

It's all boxed up, and it's ready to go! I'm guessing that the release date will be Monday the 17th.

That's probably the most beautiful small-body Alembic I've ever seen - the top wood, the inlays, the logo, the bevelled peghead - simply gorgeous - congrats Shoji! Worth the wait!

Mica,
 
I am still waiting for my bass. Do you know where it is now?
Lately I checked with Miami Vintage Guitars, and they said Alembic would ship it directly to me.
But one thing I worry about is whether if you know my new address in NAGASAKI that I notified Miami Vintage Guitars last year.
Wondering if it lost its way at my old address?
