Very sweet Hesh. 
All of our guitars don't sound too flash when they first get strings on them. I don't think you'll get the eventual sound until you've done all the setting up and tweaking of the action. Lovely looking geetar mate. Cheers |

Mercy, mercy! Another stunningly beautiful guitar. The BRW bindings really are sweet. There is an understated elegance with this guitar that is just quite something. |

You know, for a guy who thinks he has no wood working skills, you turn out some of the most beautiful guitars. This one is stunning, simply elegant. |

hesh, i have to agree with those who have admired the simple, understated elegance you have achieved in this one. whilst i can admire the skill they take to produce, and have no problem with those who prefer more ornately adorned instruments, up to a point at least, my own preferences in instruments and most things runs toward the more simple and elegant, and you've done it well. |

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!! Beautiful guitar, Hesh. Lucky 13, indeed! I'm pretty sure that I'm not the person who recommended the BRW binding. I think I suggested Wenge as a possibility--the BRW is better! 
I think wood--which grew for decades, was felled and sawn and sat on somebody's shelf for months or years--on first string-up and strum would say, "What the...?" if it had a vocabulary...especially if "Smoke on the Water" was its wake-up call!  I'm glad this one didn't take long to come around.

Simple, elegant, and strikingly beautiful ! Wish I could play this one just to hear it ring too. Hesh my friend, you have outdone yourself again. You may not call yourself a "master Luthier", but I think the term "Master Craftsman" certainly fits. |

Looks great Hesh. I especially like the BRW bindings, whoever it was that told you to use those.
