Justin's Burl Maple Further

[keith_h]

Thanks. Even if it is a shade lighter in person I like the color of the wood. Something to keep in mind and add to the list of possibilities.

Wow. Beautiful top, Justin... I'll have to add this one to the list of guitars that almost make me wish I played.... almost ;]
None the less, I wish you many years of enjoyment with your new friend.

Congratulations, sir!  It's a stunning beauty and unsurpassed gem!

It just showed up at my office (thankfully it managed to evade Jeff!).The long day suddenly got even longer.  It is really amazing!  
 
Keith - the wood is quite dark looking, to my eyes it looks about the same as Mica's picture.  It surprising how small this guitar is - I mean, I knew it was small but in pictures it looks a lot bigger!
 
I'll take some photos and post when I can (and when I manage to pry myself away from my amp).
 
Thanks all!

Justin,
Congrats. Guess the next time we'll hear from you will be in a couple of days? :-)  
 
The color looks good with me. I like what I see in the picture and might go with the burl maple for my next custom bass.

Justin-
 
Be careful with that baby today.  We're having some crappy cold weather up in these parts so watch out about letting it go through too quick a temperature change.
 
Congrats on a real beauty!

Indeed Bob - I had to adjust the truss rod and the bridge a bit when I got home, as the high E was buzzing a bit and had some dead spots.  Seems much better now though.  Now I need another month or so to figure out the controls, find the sweet spots, and then do it all over again with my Lonestar... I better clear the calendar!
 
Jeff - I'll fire you an email.  I'll be tied up the next few weekends, but after that let's do some jammin'.

I was worried more about the finish cracking as a result of rapid temp change.  The way Alembic coats these things over and over, I bet they're less susceptible than many other instruments, but it wouldn't be out of the question.  
 
Glad it's home safe and sound!
