Hesh2 I find your comment rude an unenlightened. Hesh has a long track record here of quality work, can you match it??? I see that you have only recently joined us so I will clue you in a little. I think that constructive criticism can be a good thing but general comments such as yours will only get you a rep for being a loudmouth trouble maker.

Though I have never met Hesh in person I know him to be the kind of person I could call friend and I have no doubt others here feel the same so tread careful new guy!!

Great work, Hesh.
When are you going to farm out your building services to others?
You work so quickly that we could sure put those skills to use! :idea:

K.O. - Dude..that WAS Hesh...

But very glad to see that you would defend him so ardently...as would most of us...

Hesh, your sense of humour is great, and greatly appreciated, but sometimes, its hard to discern the reality from the...hesh-ality...

I hope one day to garner the kind of respect that you have earned on this forum...

Hesh: I have been lurking here quite a while and am always impressed with your work and your tidy shop. I am trying to improve my shop then hopefully back to wrapping up my project.

Hesh, great job on another beautiful guitar, undoubtedly great sounding. The new finish turned out great. I like the font choice on the headstock—I like simple. You're completing around three guitars to my one--makes me feel slow.

Hesh and Waddy: Thanks for the welcome. I have probably been lurking over here two years. Hopefully I will have something other than questions to post soon.

Beautiful guitar. Your bridge design is so minimal and clean. Looks like it just grew there.

At first I thought you actually meant that the guitar had a smell to it that wasnt pleasant. I know some woods dont exactly smell pleasant at all.

I installed a pickup in an acoustic EIR guitar that had a french polish on it recently. The owner was pleased as punch with my work, but told me later that he missed the wood smell. Something about the dremel cutter and/or the french polish gave off an odor that smelled like burned plastic. For some reason it invaded the wood and left that smell behind. I dont know how long this will linger or if the wood smell will return later.

Your craftsmanship is impecable Hesh. Well done! Nothing stinking about this one..

Hesh congratulations on #15. I really like the low bling approach that you employ to your instruments. The colour matching and attention to finish detail has much more appeal to me personally. And I really like that body shape. How do I go about buying some plans ?

Regards
