I honestly don't remember vermilion being involved, but I'm into it. Thanks Mica!

It's usually Maple and Walnut on the Maple topped Classico. Accent laminates gotta accent, so they do change depending on the top wood. Glad you like it!

Beautiful progress. The power of the bump indeed. I'm happy to see the beauty of this thing come together.

Yes, the decorative veneer on the body rest coordinates with the top laminate of the bass.  
 
And speaking of the top laminate to the bass, after much pawing, we found another candidate to offer:

OK, that one gots to go on a Classico - how could you ever choose what part of that grain to leave off a smaller instrument?!?!?  Though if someone wants to front me $20-30K, I guess I'd be willing to try........

This is just before Kris glued the top to the body:

It's now in the glue press, and it will remain there probably until Next week, when Kris will be ready to do the next part.
