Here's a few pictures I've collected along the way. Note that the Quilted Maple is totally awesome. You'll see it soon enough when the finish hits it.   Future top laminate:

  It looks so nice in person, the pictures really can't describe it well at all.   Where is Pierre-Yves?

Fabulous!

Thank looks dangerous!  Dangerous and awesome...  What does it say on the neck?  Do not...

Do not stare?

je croyais que les medium n'?taient pas pour toi ?!

Do not... break, spray, sit on, apply pornographic inlays?

I'm here Mica but I don't really like, I prefer natural maple.

Does this finish have a name already? I'd propose charcoal sheen.

Woooooooooooooow!
It looks fantastic!!! More beautiful than I was expecting, even in pic!!! Thanks to make my dream come true!!!
Cheers!!!
 
Oh, Pierre-Yves, by the way, its not a medium but a SHORT SCALE! ;-D

ALEMBIC NOIR !

When you see something this curvy, and colored in the key of of black it looks are dangerously alluring, and it also makes a very seductively  powerful bass to want, touch, and hold.
 
This bass, will dominate attention over anything within 100ft of its area. That's powerful!

Awesome!
