Looks good now, will look FABULOUS in blue, and I really dig the Blue Orca inlay.

Ya know, Rusty, speaking as an expat-Texan to a still-residing-in-Mother-Texas citizen (especially since we're both from East Texas), it occurs to me that we should possibly consider forming an 'Texas Society of Alembics in Color' , so we can separate ourselves somewhat from our esteemed colleagues who are unfortunately doomed to

a) not be from Texas, and

b) live with B R O W N guitars and basses.

Whoops, gotta go, 'Giant' is coming on next on TCM !

Hardware was completed and is en route to the plater right now.

I was reviewing the colors with Bob this morning, so color is coming very soon. I'll share pics as soon as there is something see :-)

Hey Mica, quick question, when I was there last month I didn't notice the holes for the side mounted jacks, although I didn't specifically look for them (I was too much in awe of the inlays to think about the jacks!) so I wanted to make sure they get drilled before the final finish is sprayed. Thanks!

First hint of blue:

There is more to come, but this is how it all starts.

I love the hint of blue color. I bet it will look even better down the road, but if it were mine, I could stop right here!

Thanks Edwin! I love the hint of blue too, but I want it fully "Tangled Up In Blue!" Just like Steve's masterpiece. Hopefully today being Friday, Mica will bless me with more pictures!

Rusty...... Rusty..... Wake up.!!!!
I'm sure Rusty is asleep but I can't be certain if it's because he is tired or has seen the pictures and passed out. :-)
It's looking great.
