Absolutely beautiful.  More guitars need water spots ;)

I can't wait to see the color on this baby!  I LOVE Alembic's quilted maple choices.

No problem, Graeme.  I may have to get one of these myself!  This is turning out to be a stunning instrument in an iconic shape.  You are indeed a lucky man, Michael.
 
Bill, tgo

The stain that I am aspiring to can be found on this website under Products/Skylark/Staining options.  Light emerald in the middle, with wash to teal at edges

I know your going for a certain color, but this thing just looks so beautiful as it is. I'd put in the electronics, slap on the hardware and call it a day!
 
Either way, it's going to be spectacular.

As usual, it looks sooooo much better in person:
 

 
It's in the final curing stage, so it's at least a week away from any more work while the finish finishes hardening. But now you can enjoy that intense color.
