Has anybody seen photos of any other ones elsewhere on the website? tomlerner Junior Username: tomlerner Post Number: 26 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 11:58 am:    I've also just found the April 2002 Featured Custom. Any others?

Click or doubleclick that image for the full view. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 554 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - 8:40 pm:    Here you go, looks a bit different: tomlerner Junior Username: tomlerner Post Number: 29 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 05, 2007 - 8:36 am:    Thanks guys. I was looking in the Skylark Showcase section of the club, not the Product page. This photo is helpful.

This is the second time I've sat here and just looked at those blue "waves" of "water". So Tom; just curious, or did you have something in mind? bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1682 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, July 06, 2007 - 4:48 pm:    That Skylark is a great platform for the finish. A real beauty. dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 798 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, July 07, 2007 - 10:07 am:    It looks like ripples on still water (Hunter /Garcia reference deliberate) Mike tomlerner Junior Username: tomlerner Post Number: 30 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, July 09, 2007 - 11:25 am:    Dave, nothing specific yet. Thinking about an ocean-themed bass with a flame or quilt maple top, ocean burst, and maybe a shell inlay or two. At the moment, you guys are building a vermilion short-scale lefty Excel for me, so I won't be placing another order for awhile! cozmik_cowboy Intermediate Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 165 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - 10:50 am:    First, let me say that I think Alembics should be natural wood - or maybe a light tint if maple. Second, let me say that bursts should be either Fender 3-tone sunburst or Gibson tobacco sunburst. Third, let me say I WANT THAT SKYLARK! That is just yummy!

See also this thread here at our very own forum. bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 994 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 06, 2007 - 12:30 pm:    I was once a purist (You know - The natural beauty of the wood shouldn't be obstructed, etc, etc,etc.). But after painting a few vintage Fenders and other older guitars in nitro over Lake Placid Blue, Dakota Red, Daphne Blue, tobacco burst, Heritage Cherry and a few other vintage colors, I began to appreciate the aesthetics of colors and pigment. That Excel is calling to me... (Message edited by bassman10096 on October 06, 2007)
