Justin:
 
Jeff's right, the burl is going to look very tasty with the finish on.  Maybe you two can start a Burl band.  Think of the possibilities:  The Milton Burls,  The Burl Ives
 
Jeff:
 
If you want to advertise for bandmates, try craigslist.org.  They have local ones all over the country.  We found the last two Stonetrout lead guitarists through craigslist after getting a lot of responses to the ads.  It seems to work and it's FREE!  So what more could you want?
 
Bill, tgo

How about dressing up in woman's lingerie and calling yourselves Burlesque?

lol
 
I'm less than a 10 minute ride from Sono, on the Darien/Rowayton border of Norwalk.  There's a small place near me called the River Cat that sometimes has good bands.  The Boxcar is a fun place too.  I've never made it to Georgetown, but I've been meaning to once the Stones finish touring, keep my fingers crossed for a Keith sighting.
 
Unfortunately I don't think I'd be able to make the kind of time to be in a real band, but certainly a jam from time to time to get the kinks out...!
 
You guys are right about the burl, I'm so excited to see it with the finish - there's a pic of a Series 1 bass on the G Guitars website that made my mind up for me to go with the burl.  It's still there, but they took down the close-up pics of it - they were outstanding.
 
I'm off to see Joshua Redman tonight.  Have a good weekend y'all.

Thanks,

We're gettin close, Justin. Burl woods need a lot more finish than the others. Gotta seal all those pesky holes in the burl. It should come out of spray possibly later this week to get the inlaid logo. Then a couple more coats, final set up and we're ready. It does look stunning.

Cool, thanks for the update Val.
 
BTW did Chris from G Guitars contact you with the final delivery address for the guitar (my work address)?

Hey guys, sweet lookin burl tribute, i love the figure in that wood, nothing is more exotic to me than some fancy wood like that! I realized you guys live about 30 minutes from me in CT. i live in Derby, about 5 minutes from G Guitars! we should all meet up and show off our new guitars!

[flaxattack]

if i could leave my wallet home
i would head up to g for a look one day
lol

[jerico]

The CT crowd seems to be swarming over Alembics! Good times.  Sure I'll meet up, lets just hope no one shows up to rob your house that day...!
Justin

Yeah , im getting instrument insurance soon. Im always afraid my gear is gunna get ripped or busted one day. I wish i got it earlier, I had my brand new breedlove custom shop acoustic on a stand, and my prs fell right through the top. It was not cheap to fix to say the least. The points on the prs headstock gave the breedlove a run for its money. I think that since the guys in CT get to know and see the Alembics, that they eventually want one!

[flaxattack]

any photo updates?
i'll take any anything., with some finish on it....
please

[jerico]

Me too, Jeff!
 
Any more updates, guys? I haven't heard from you in about a month.
 
Thanks
