I bet it looks even better in person. Best wishes.

Lucky me that you sent the pictures to Art, I would have gotten blind cheers from Germany, from my Spoiler "Bridget" also Christian paulman Senior Member Username: paulman Post Number: 426 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 12:25 pm:    First Alembics are the BEST! Then you decide..."I wonder what another one would sound like..." Congratulations, that's a looker for sure! 12stringwilson Member Username: 12stringwilson Post Number: 68 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 1:26 pm:    Mark - Congrats! That is one beautiful Spoiler. Good luck resisting the urge to want more Alembics. Welcome to the club. clarkybass New Username: clarkybass Post Number: 8 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 3:09 pm:    Thank you guys, It arrived early (this afternoon; I am in the UK) and I have been playing it non-stop. It feels odd having such a narrow neck, after all my Precisions (I have four of them!), but I'm finding it very easy for fingerstyle and the tonal range is superb. The quilt top is every bit as nice as it looks in these pics too! Very pleased :-) artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1081 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 4:25 pm:    Congratulations on that timely (early, instead of Friday) arrival ;) Play it Healthy!
