Wow! That's a beauty.
Nitro finish?
One problem that I noted: your label won't stay in place long using just the tape. I'd go ahead and staple it in. Just shoot'em thru from the back and clinch them over on the inside.

That's a pretty permanent way to attach the label Bruce. I think Hesh aught to use a few drywall screws. That would be a lot easier to remove than the staples. ;) All puns aside Hesh, that is one pretty piece of work. Thanks for leaving the grain on the fingerboard. I really like the stripy effect. |

hesh, your work looks great but i'm glad you are going to farm out your finishing for a while. your respect for your long term health and that of your girlfriend must have been at a pretty low ebb; spraying and curing in the house/apartment is a great way to make both of you quite ill. or perhaps you are just still young and immortal... |

Nice looking piece of work. And that finish came from a can? |

Hesh, Sorry but the bathroom shots lead to the inevitable question - was it a case of buffing in the buff? 
Gorgeous looking guitar - great job. And I agree with Tim on the Macassar ebony fingerboard, I just love to see wood au naturelle. |

Lovely guitar, really like the look of the macassar fingerboard, macassar came out pretty good on our wave transmission tests too. Do any of you guys ever build a dud? Colin |

WOW! I may have to make a trip to your place just to give that baby a test drive, and get a close up! Very nice work!

Looks great Hesh! Looks like you've done a great job on the buffing too! That is some sweet looking wood as well. |

Ok, I give up. WHat about the winding of these strings is backwards? I looks like every other guitar I've seen. The bass strings are wound counter-clockwise and the treble strings are clockwise. The tuning knobs are above the begs. The only thing that looks different from the way I do it is that the windings seem to be running up the post whereas mine run down the post. |
