I believe that is your best work yet! Nice choice of contrasting wood.

This may be my favorite, Hesh. That's a beautiful piece of koa, and very nice craftsmanship. I'm binding a dread today, I hope.

Disgusting display of outstanding talent.   That looks great, Hesh - nice wood choices, spectacular detail work, and good photography too.

Pretty clean Hesh!
You have either achieved gaplessness or you are getting real good with PhotoShop.

Nice work Bro!

Hesh - a great looking guitar - I may have to "borrow" your BRW and koa combo for my koa set I've been saving. 


Beautiful work!

That's looking really nice Hesh!

I'm not at all superstitious... But I called my 13th. guitar, my 14th. guitar.

Hesh, that BRW mates perfectly with that dark stripe in the Koa alright. And it doesn't compete w/ the Koa's bling. Really a good combo.
And I'd like the name of the rosewood-colored caulk you're using, cuz it really does hide all the cracks beautifully.
