Oh boy, oh boy!

This is just sealed, so there's a lot of time left in the finish department, but it does look fantastic already.

Beautiful. I love this piece of cocobolo. I also love the lack of speed bumps ;)

Dear Mica--thanks for the photos and for all the care your team has put into building this beautiful bass. The cocobolo looks stunning. I was originally attracted to Alembic for its simple, solid approach to acoustic/electric design; now also for the artistic grandeur.
