Woohoo! At last my long wait is over. Boy was it worth it! And I'm the first to post a Further in the showcase.

I'm overwhelmed! Thanks to all at Alembic Mark , feeling very grateful
Wow! That is absolutely stunning. Congratulations Mark, well worth the wait. 'Patience' indeed. Next time I'm down in Yorkshire I'll figure a way to smuggle her out of your house. Looks like you'll be enjoying Christmas this year.
All the best
Graeme

Love the inlays! To quote Graeme, Wow! I've got to learn guitar one of these days. What do you play it through?
Congratulations
Sam
Mark:
Congrats! Absolutely gorgeous. So, have your feet touched the ground yet?
Bill, tgo
Mark,
The only thing I'd do differently is...give it to me! Absolutely beautiful instrument. Enjoy.
Regards,
Jonathan
Congrats Mark!! Beautiful guitar - I absolutely love the birdseye - and the inlays are fantastic. Don't forget to come up for air from time to time. =)
Tom
Thanks guys.
This is my first, so my feet won't touch down till some time in 2006, maybe!
I've got a Fender Blues de Ville, 2x12 at the moment which has never sounded so sweet or so quiet. I never imagined a guitar could be this good. Elves indeed.
Mark
Very nice, Mark! I'd like to see more of those FB inlays...the phases of the moon, I'm assuming?
Cheers,
Kevin
Be-a-utiful! Congrats!
Rob
Congrats!!!
Kevin; here (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=7016) is Mica's post on the phases of the moon.
Ooohlala!
Awesome stuff - the inlays are wicked!
Justin
That's beautiful. Congrats. Is the tailpiece area inlay medicinal? Bill tgo would know.
Rich
Congrats, dude! Quite a beauty!
Looks like a Sativa to me, maybe a cross with a touch of Indica. I'm sure it has great medicinal properties that make anyone playing this guitar feel real good! LOL.
Bill, tgo
You're spot on there Bill, a touch of vibrato and a string vibrates forever, even unplugged! Having heard Further No. 1 aka the Wolf back in 73, I had high expectations, but Jerry didn't have Alembic Activators in his, so this sounds better. Shame I don't have his technique! LOL
How's you're beauty coming along Bill? Must be nearly there surely.
Mark, still flying
Absolutely killer Birdseye! Where do they keep finding these great pieces?
I hoped she'd be a featured custom.
Here's (http://www.alembicguitars.net/info/fc_patience.html) Mica's vastly superior pics.
10 months on and still in love!
Mark
