Very cool, thanks for sharing. Lots of pretty stuff dancing around there. But I really like that oak. I'm shocked.

WOW!!!!
Everyone here at the OLF knows what fine work Tony does I think - but I am still astonished everytime I see one of his remarkable jobs! I cant believe how many top flight instruments are in that shop too!!!!!
I certainly do hope the individual builders will speak up and point thiers out... That oak looks incredible!!!
like I said
WOW
Cheers

Hesh, above all, did you not find Tony to be as nice a guy in person as he is on the phone! I bet you didnt expect to see an X rocker when you walked up eh!

Great Pictures Hesh.  That is some spraying operation.  Looks to me like he gets a lot done with little confusion.  I guess that's what being organized is, I wouldn't know.  Some nice looking guitars in there - even including yours.

Thanks Hesh
Love love shots. Tony is 1st Rate!!!!! Once I asked for a pict of him and Jill
so I could put a face to his voice. He sent me a pict of him and Jill with one
of my guitars and their dog. A great shot, but insisted I never post it.

He is the best and so is his work!!!!! It looks like he builds some mighty fine
guitars as well

If I find Hesh fingerprints on that I'm going to raise a stink! Did you see the red one? This is our first experiment with "candy" color so I'm really excited to get that one back.
You didn't by chance take a photo of Tony himself did you? I talk to him almost weekly and it makes me nuts to not know what he looks like.

WOW Hesh this is a treat indeed!  I would love to be a fly on his walls for a little while to learn from a master finisher.


Thanks for sharing the pictures!

wouldn't do it...
