Uhm, I'm not really sure what to say - it's incredible!  It's going to be a long week waiting for it to arrive.
 
Mica and Valentino - did you get the proper shipping address (in Rowayton, CT)?  I sent it by email a few times, and G Guitars called me on Friday to ask me to confirm it with both them and you, but I never heard back from anyone.
 
Grazie!

this guitar makes me more comfortable with the move to replace the coco bolo on the tribute bass

Yeah Jeff, the burl really is cool looking isn't it?  I bet your bass is going to look great.

I like the color. Is that the natural color of the burl maple or was there a tint added?

Great question, Keith.  I have no idea if they added some tint.  The last photo up there seems to resemble the other Alembic burl maple instruments I've seen, for whatever that's worth.

This is a clear finish - no tints involved except those provided by Nature in the wood. Chip picked out some nice golden Flame Maple for the neck too.  
 
On my monitor, the color shows a bit darker than the actual guitar.
