Wow, that was fast Hesh!! Are you sure your not running a guitar building factory over there? You'll surpass Martin Guitars if you don't slow down

Looks beautiful, and can't wait to see it all finished up. Your new bridge shape turned out really nice. Great job!

Very Nice indeed Hesh

Is that a new body shape that you invented

I think the Mahogany and Adirondack is real pretty, and the workmanship looks first class.

That wood combination is going to really sparkle under finish. Looking mighty good, Hesh, and you're right about that Brazilian--too good to pass up!

Oh, and be sure to get some good brushes and a high-hat cymbal to go along with it.

Really Nice! I can't wait to see it with a finish and strung up. Even more, I can't wait to see what you do with that blister/quilt set.....

Golly, I've become a Heshtone fan!

If he gets evicted, I think Hesh would work out of the trunk of his car.... he's a guitarbuilders guitarbuilder. That Hesh is flush with success.

I'm interested in seeing what happens with the mahogany under finish. I
can't tell if it'll stay pinkish or what. I love the top.

Fantastic looking instrument my friend! Another winner from the Heshtone shop!

I can't wait to see that baby under finish, better yet, I can't wait to try it...

Na na na, na na naaaaa... (to all of you who won't get the chance to do so...)

Hesh, as always another winner.

I too am interested in seeing this beaut with it's finish.

Ya know, this is the last in the line of the Flushtone series and the end to an era of bathroom building

Ode to the WC Luthier

Without a throne to sit upon
Hesh built a dreadnought in the john.
His friends exclaimed "A dreadnought not"
"What do ya mon, ya smoking ____ ?"
Hesh smiled and built an adi top
Roped mahogany back and rosewood that popped!
It's nearly done. A beaut for sure!
It surely is, it's Heshtone pure.
An office now, a bathroom not.
Please don't build another dreadnought!


A Jeanne original!

7 weeks???
Hesh, I'm going to move to our upstairs bathroom and see if that's your secret of success. I am just amazed.

Steve

Oh yes, that guitar looks like it took much longer than 7 weeks to build. It's really nice.Steve Kinnaird38949.9636226852
