Official Luthiers Forum!

Dear Hesh,
I just wanted to give praise and recognition for your exhibition of the 3 guitars you posted the other day!

I can't remember when I have seen such a display of workmanship and artistic expression in Lutherie.
All I can say is keep up the good work and press on. It won't be long and I will be able to tell someone..." I know him".
Congratulations BROTHER!!!!

WALTER

I have to agree with Walter here. Hesh, you build some of the best looking guitars I've ever seen. Every time I think about your myrtle L-00 I just start drooling.

Why don't we have a drooling emoticon anyway?

Hey, isn't that the picture that Hesh posted just to wind me up? You know Dreadnaught, sunburst, blacktop!

Can't fault his workmanship though.

Yeah, but what has he done for us lately? Oh, yeah...that beautiful parabolic-braced top for his current project.    Darn!

I think it takes a real man to paint a guitar black! Building kitchens I find
myself covering up wood with more and more unusual techniques. I'm not
sure if I'm just bored or want to scare people away so I can get on with
building the good stuff. Beautiful work! I would really like to know the
procedure on the black one.

I can't find the post with the pictures in it.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Yeah and not only his guitars are worthy of Dream guitars magazine but they sound heavenly as well, he has built mine which was the last one built in his bathroom ! Now, you gotta have character to build guitars in such a non traditional space while keeping it clean!

You deserve the accolades bro, you're always so passionate about guitars and you are always willing to help everyone so graciously take it from all of us bro!

Colin my friend I really didn’t post that pic that included the d****n****t and the s**b***t to upset you and knowing now that it did I won’t post it again.

You will be pleased to know that the current build (sorry Howard, I should say the current guitar project…) is hondo/euro, parabolic, no bling, and will be French polished. Redemption?

Glad to see you coming over from the Dark Side.

Seriously Hesh , you know what I think of your building skills, your one of the guys whose guitars not only would I be happy to own (yes even the sunburst), but also would be proud to have built. Like me you don't sell your guitars so you can go where the whim takes you. They call it freedom!

Colin,

    Some people are natural talents, they take to things and do well right from the get go! They are brilliant, have good taste and character, all good things a man should be!

     That's clearly me, but I see some of that in you
too Hesh Buddy! You should be proud!

   All seriousness aside - You build a great machine pal! A very nice machine!
