The BRW bindings will give it a very rich look Hesh.

Are you going to use side purfs or leave au naturale?

Cheers

Lookin good Hesh! 


I'm not a big fan of black guitars, but in this case and if only the top were stained black, you might have something really pretty


It would be interesting to see how you pull that feat off, but if anybody could do it, I know you could. Keep us posted on the progress?

Great work Hesh.  Wonderful choices of materials too.  It's going to be a beauty when finished.

Looking good Heshie. Beautiful and pristine execution! That Koa is a killer!!!!

Some friendly comments:
...one black top is enough
...I vote for purfs
...That pad on your bench top still scares me

Hesh, that is looking very nice! The Brazilian binding will look terrific with the Koa.

I'm with JJ, some nice purfling will set the Koa and the bindings off very nicely.

You are kidding about a black top?

Not too shaby Hesh...
You're up to # 13 already? Wow, you're a mini f**t**y over there in Michigan! 
I like that Koa too, was it one of their high end sets? It sure looks like it anyway. Keep it up!

It looks like we're going to have another elegant tone machine to drool over. I just got the keyboard cleaned from the last one!

Hesh, the .042" b/w/b will look really nice.

Good think you aren't painting one of Bob's tops black or you might get an invitation from one of his relatives to going fishing on the bottom of the Detoilet river

Looking good, Hesh. I like Koa. Notice a very comfortable RH and temp on your wall. I was sanding sides today, getting ready to bind, and couldn't keep the sweat off of it.    I've got to get some kind of cooling in my shop. It was 90 today with humidity around 68%.

Looks great, Hesh!
Glad to know that I had a wee part in the design phase.
And that really is some nice looking Koa.

As always, Hesh, you do really nice work!

But, the pink panties got to go!

Though, I’ve heard it said that only real men can where pink! So, if the panties fit......
