Official Luthiers Forum!

I got back from Ann Arbor from a family holiday,which was super special.Spending time with loved ones ,especially the baby grandaughter ,she`s 1 year and 2 months, is a soul saver.Meeting Hesh ,and Jim Howell for the first time was an extra special treat.They are both genuine people,the real deal.I can`t even put into words how to explain Hesh`s guitars.The finest I`ve played,especially the Brazillian.Of course I`ve probably only played about 2 million guitars in my life.Well,maybe a slight exaggeration,but being an old timer I`ve played too many to count.Hesh ,was a gracious host,and let me play every guitar in Heshland.He also arranged for all of us to spend some time at David Collins shop.I had met David before and was really excited to get a chance to pick his brain.He`s the most talented and knowledgeable Luthier I have ever met, and an amazing individual willing to share with us.I could have stayed in his shop forever watching and learning as he worked.So a big Thank You to David ,Jim And especially Hesh who makes things happen.I had a great time.

     I can`t tell them apart.

Ha!

Perfect Jim,

Hesh, you are one tallented dog, able to type at the computer is one thing, but to be able to build guitars with your paws and all the fur is something else.

Right on guys, nice to see folks getting together. and thanks for the review on the Heshtones, now JJ's and your critic of the mighty Heshtone, I'll have to start saving my penies, maybe after 15 years of saving, I'll have enough

Gee, Hesh is a lot shorter than I imagined.

Wow! Hesh is quite a guy! He not only allows the dog on the couch but lets him play his guitar!   

James my friend I had a GREAT time with you too and the next time you are up here we will have to get some team building in too.  I hope that you had a good flight back to Nashville and I look forward to your next visit.

I took the liberty of doctoring up your picture to more accurately depict your description.......  Don't laugh- I have pictures of you too so what kind of animal do you want to be????

JR buddy we were thinking the same thing - you must have a sick mind too......

Wow in the last picture my dog kind of looks like that famous Egyptian monument - the sphincter......

Ahhh yes...... a man and his dog. there is something manly about the thought of it.

I'm just thankful Hesh didnt have a bikini on this time

Hey Hesh,

Hesh , you give new meaning to the phrase "dog person" ! If this turns out to be a busted rib from laughing, I'm sending you the bill!

   

It's pretty obvious that Hesh has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh - so why is it so dadgummed difficult to snap a picture of him smiling? Sony is smiling!

Ken, I`m REALLY thankful Hesh didn`t have his bikini on.Hesh you do have a great intelligent sense of humor,a lot of fun to be around.If your going to make me an animal make me an Eagle.I could fly free straight to Heshland where the Brazillian awaits.

Thats some shiny fur.  French polish, I bet.

It's that stuff that you spray on a duster.  Sony is Hesh's duster.  Everywhere he goes, he picks up dust, and then all you have to do is shake him over a trash can to release the dust.  No wonder things are so clean.
