I think I found a picture of the original slice... http://alembic.com/club/messages/2344/22510.html?1132280583 It's the last slice on the page... 51110-3. You can tell by what I think is spalting near the bottom. Sort of looks like a skull. Justin, do you have any pictures of your Further? Burl maple is cool. | ||

There are pics of my Further in the FTC threads, towards the bottom (search the titles for "Justin's burl maple Further"). Can't wait to see this one all finished! | ||

You have Honey Pie... very nice! When I ordered this Excel, Susan said that the top would be similar to Honey Pie. They both look great. I also like the recessed logo and flame maple neck. I have an MK Signature Deluxe on order that will have both. Hopefully that will show up on these pages one of these days. I can't wait to get this Excel. I sold my fretless Fender jazz bass a few months ago not realizing I would miss fretless so much. Oh well, I think it's getting close now. | ||

Yours has a very nice color. It does look a bit like Honey Pie - the color is like heavy coffee with a lot of cream in it! I really like the maple core on yours, it is awesome! Purpleheart seems to jive well with burl too. Very elegant! | ||

Already gone from here, but preview photos are always nice:   Drop dead gorgeous. Don't forget to pluck the open A string around the 20th "fret" like I told you on the phone. | ||
