looks like the knight rider !

Very nice, but it won't help me; I'm on a quest for a shrubery!
 
Bridge is the coolest, polished pickups are perfect.  Well done.

What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite Alembic?  I mean...

It's only a flesh wound.

Ni....Ni.....Ni....

Oh, look - there's a penguin on the monitor!  No, wait, it's a black bass (let's hope it doesn't explode!).  
Very nice!  The suspension bridge seems to me to be about the most elegant thumbrest ever - and it's even mirrored for the lefties!  I've heard custom bike bulders talk about effect customs (paint & chrome and little else) and detail customs (where you do things like relocate the oil line fixtures on the cases to get your look).  This is most definitely a detail custom.
Congrats - its COTM status is most deserved.

Yowza!  That is one stunning instrument - so many cool little things to notice and marvel at.  Enjoy her in good health, Mark!

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

               Awful!

PS: beautiful instrument

I gotta admit, Ive seen some nice customs over the years, some of which have given me ideas for a custom of my own, but this one is by far my favorite.  The ebony is absolutely stunning.

It's a very cool looking instrument.
