Amazing, amazing, amazing... ...repeat as required to trigger appropriate blissful trance-like state of mind. Maple-bound fingerboard is an elegant detail! (all said with red face due to yesterday's mis-step...) And - I've been waiting to see this one because I've been hearing about it for several months. The inlays are amazing. The amount of detail and the craftsmanship required to execute it sets a new standard. Any one of them would be the crown jewel on a "normal" instrument - but this is a Featured Custom - sooo Fantasy can become reality - ! | ||

Wow! The maple binding on the neck is cool. But by far the coolest aspect of that Tribute is that it is already being bequeathed to Wayne's son Jade. That makes it a winner for sure! :-D | ||

That is easily one of the most spectacular Alembic customs I have seen. The maple fingerboard binding is absolutely amazing. Wow. | ||

Yes, the binding with that Ebony accent is a very cool feature. And the inlay work is amazing. Hard to pick out which is my favorite feature, there's so much to choose from, including the top and the medallion, but that Butterfly is really cool. Congrats on a very special instrument Wayne! | ||

Another superb guitar with tastefully specified custom options. Clearly the owner has dug deep and spent well with a clear idea of making this guitar a part of his family's future. I Love it. | ||

The back story is just as huge as the quality of this build. Obviously the owner is a person of discernng taste and as was repeated several times he is a perfectionist. Alembic delivers the goods once again although I think the bar has been raised to dizzying heights. slawie | ||

What a masterpiece of art and craftsmanship! Like Slawie said: "the bar has been raised to dizzying heights." Wow! I'll say it has... | ||

Congrats, Wayne! May you play this beauty for many, many years to come! And Jade is one lucky son, aside from the bequest. | ||
