Mica, Did it get squirted?
 
Any pics?
 
 
don't make me beg...

You know it did!  

 

  Looks pretty cool. Remember, there is a looong wait in spray. It will look pretty much like this until it's all done.

That will have to wait until next week. Everything is wet right now.

Wow , if one lets the imagination run wild there are so many things to see in this wood.

I've dreamed of seeing such a guitar come to fruition for quite some time.... The only thing I pictured different was a reverse headstock, and stinger omega....  
 
Congrats John, this is shaping up to be quite the guitar!!!!

A future COTM, for sure. Just when I thought my axe was the bomb, your choice of wood from the bank comes along, and all I can do is drool!
Possibly the finest Buckeye I've ever seen, regardless of builder.....

Correction: there is 'much' money to be made above the fifth fret....

Thanks Chris, very kind words indeed from someone with such a fine instrument like yours! Nobody does Buckeye like Alembic; they are simply the best in the world.
 
I thought about a reverse headstock, but I thought it would aggravate my aixelsyd.

Jeez, that is a GORGEOUS piece of Buckeye!  I hope you like answering questions, becuase any time you take this beast out in public you're going to get a TON of them  
 
Enjoy the process, it may seem long now but trust me it's worth it in the end!
 
Cheers,
 
Todd

Any more pics? headstock? custom logo? please?

That picture should be standard for all FTC threads.

Just darling!  Anyway, with everyone feeling MUCH better now, I can finally start catching up on some FTC pictures.   The backplates and humx pickup are getting along in spray:

  and the Ebony box pickups are ready for their oil finish:

  And an in-process shot of making the shells, with a few extry just in case:
