The Featured Custom for April is up, and congrats to Pierre-Yves!  Very much a one-of-a-kind instrument.  And Mica, I love the background story on the construction and theory behind the design.  Another exceptional example of Alembic artistry!

For what this must cost, I'd expect to have Alembic stamped on both sides of the pick-ups!

One chain is indeed way too close.

Please do not become alarmed in periodic holds in sound; these sound holds  become apparent when the external stimuli are in one phase and wave shape to the binary encoding system of the human brain.  Contrary to popular belief ,when engaged in uni-E tuning the hearer of the  sound holds may encounter multispectral crescendo diminuendos resulting in an epiphany completely unprecedented yet experienced within inter-dimensional illusion.
 
My sincere congratulations to all those who have created this marvel of exemplary craftsmanship and to the Gentleman who has funded it and is the current owner of this timeless work of Art.

April fool anyone??

Wait a minute - the writing describing the bass isn't symmetrical.  I demand a rewrite! ;-)

Kudos to Pierre-Yves for being such a good sport.

Love the mercury switch!  
 
Bill, tgo

LOL excellent !!!  
since Mica sent me the text and the idea took shape, I've never laughed as much on the forum!
One of the best (unfortunately I did not understand all the subtleties) was that: text by Mica Thomas and Samoht Acim... I'm asked who is this Samoht.... a new collaborator ? In the line of MirrorrorriM ;o))
And this part: Fabry-P?rot etalon to assure the absolute alignment of the tailpiece to the neck, and to verify the overall symmetry to nearly unmeasureable precision LOL too. I'm laughlin a lot and you laugh too but you know I'm right ... somewhere! No hard feelings and even with pleasure !
Thanks Mica

The mercury switch is brilliant.
What a job on the Logo too,too much fun : ))

Hah! Superb. Congratulations Pierre-yves. Now you finally have a perfectly centred tailpiece.

Very excellent April model!  Of course the bridge saddles need adjusting.
