I love the understated elegance. It is beautiful and I know it will sing so sweetly.

Thanks everyone!  I just wanted to share what the BRW looks like for now but will post more pics when it is completed.

I am having several OLF visitors in the next several weeks so perhaps we will get some impressions from others too.

I've seen quite a few guitars in my time, and there aren't many that visually leave me utterly gobsmacked - now there's been two posted within days.

Hesh, I am in awe.

Three that I can think of.  This one of course, the Oak one and the one going to the UK.  Every one a masterpiece of craftsmanship and good taste.  The bar rises 3 more notches.

That's a beautiful back, Hesh. Love the way you kept it simple with the binding.

Hey Hesh ol' buddy 'ol pal,
I thought you said you were going to stain the back and sides black on this one?


I was also noticing the absence of a back strip. It was unquestionably the right choice to leave it out and let the book-matched wood speak for itself.


Great job.

Believe me, it actually looks better in person , if that's possible!
Hesh, will you be bringing it to Lunch?

I may be able to bring my latest LS Coco, although it wont have strings.

What'd you do, Lance, ship them all out, and leave yourself with no stirings.  You need to plan better!

Hesh that is one outstanding guitar. You have a nack of putting a great combination of woods together. You have to bring that up to the Zoot Cave.
