That would be fine.

The moment many of you have been waiting for, drum roll please:
 
Carl's pictures.
 

These are all before cleaning.  Some of you have suggested that I leave the metal original.  So, I have not done anything to it.  I have not applied the lemon oil to the fretboard yet either.  See the showcase area for the rest of the pictures.  Thanks again for all the help and support.

Here are a few more.  I will be getting some outside shots soon.

Hey Barry:
 
I think I will teach myself the bass.  Just so I can justify buying another Alembic.  It is truly an amazing guitar.  I love the sounds of the Alembic basses also.  Are there very many crossover or dual instrument players around here?
 
 
Carl

I play both poorly ... does that count?

LOL!  I guess so Barry.  I guess so.

LOL!  I guess so Barry.  I guess so.

How's this for crossover:
 

 
It's a '75 Series I - the 6-string is actually a baritone tuned A-A, midway between bass and guitar. The guy on the right is Ron Wickersham, the genius behind the Alembic electronics and sound!
 
And I don't mean to distract from your guitar - it looks great! Congrats once again! And welcome to the club/family!

Thanks Harry.  It must have really been a pleasure to actually have Ron play wishbone with you.  He is a living legend.  So about the basuitar, can you play (it) them both...simultaneously, poorly or well?  That is a joke from Barry.  Thanks again.
