This week Hesh and I had a chance to catch up since last seeing each other at BobCs place in
Fort Erie this past summer.
We ate hamburgers and talked about, well, what else - Guitar Building!

Hesh brought his Mahogany Addy dreadnought which had been completed just a month or so ago.
This has to be one of the cleanest sound holes I have ever peered into! The sides were reinforced with the
bias tap,(very cool and clean) and the top, wow! The Addy top had so much silking that it almost looked like flamed spruce!
We sat outside the restaurant for about 20 minutes playing the guitar and talking..

Thanks for Lunch Buddy! Had a great time, next time its on me..

Lance

Sweet shimmery highs, fat mid range, and a nice bottom. This is a fine example of an addy topped Dread that is fresh out of the womb.
It has started out sounding fantastic, and will only get better with time.

Great stuff as usual from Hesh..
I cant wait to taste test that Taz Myrtle hes building.
