Congrats Bill!  I love the dual tint and the coco pickup tops were a great call.

That's just pornographically beautiful. How do you folks keep doing it? I've been checking COTM for years, and they just keep getting better.
 
I'll just have to settle for my Orion and Series I...which is hardly settling!

OK, funny... I wondered what the acronym COTM was and now I see a reference to it, thanks Bradley - LOL (won't forget that).
 
I was browsing factory to customer when I saw it.  Now I just checked it out at the Alembic homepage!  
 
Wow, some new great shots of that stunning guitar along with detailed information.  
 
Again, enjoy it Bill and congratulations!

Congrats, Bill!
 
Play it in good health!

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.  Now I'll have to drop a few quid on coffee mugs, and I don't even drink coffee!  I also have a new background for my computer.  This has been a blast and continues to be every time I plug Woody in.  (Rehearsal tonight - YEA!)  ... and if anyone has an old E-type jag ....?
 
Bill, tgo

welcome to the club billy...
got my address for the mug?
:-)

Bill,
 
I was not a huge fan of the Further until I saw this beauty. Each aspect so well complements the next...the contrasting woods...peghead bevels...inlays. It's really an amazing work of art. Enjoy it in good health for years to come.  
 
Regards,
 
Jonathan

That's absolutely beautiful, Bill.  Congrats.
Rich

Wow Bill, that's all I can think to say, wow, Bill.  How did rehearsal go?  Did you get anything rehearsed or did Woody steal the show?  Congratulations.  
 
Sam

Nice, Bill!! I was jazzed for you when I read it was done, and look now!!
 
It makes you want to play it all the time doesn't it?  
 
Anyhoo, you're more than TGO now, heh heh.

Well Bill, happy 50th and happy present to yourself.
I love the inlays, the woods, workmanship, well it is all so damn good.
I bet it sounds as as good as it looks( as if it wouldn't!!!!)
I never get tired of checking out the custom of the month..we all missed it when Mica was producing her own 'custom'

Hey, Bill!
 
Congrats, fellow COTM member. So, shall we organize another gathering so we can see (and hear) this beautiful guitar?
:-)
 
Ken (TEO)

Can you hold it in Scotland this time please. i'd like to see 'woody' too ;-)
 
Graeme

Yes, Bill, we'd all love to see your woody!  

Congratulations Bill!
 
I never got to play any Dead tunes with you guys, so maybe we should have another Bay Area confluence?
