Very nice Hesh. What's your secret for getting that heel to body fit so darn good?

Hey Flush, good stuff there!

That's some neat work, Hesh. Although, I've grown to expect that even in the short time I've been around here. It is gonna be a beauty.

Hesh! You do that neck setting thing like a real pro! Very impressive!

Really like the color combination too! Earthy tones!

Hey, maybe you could do, like a series of guitars, and you could call them,

“Earthtones” by “Heshtone”

Very nice work as always, my friend!

Robert

Hey, bro...this one looks like it is off to a fantastic start. I just love the pristine work...it must be getting a bit routine and boring to not have any surprises!? When do you expect for it to be sent for finishing?

Beautiful design and execution!!!

Nice work as always Hesh!
I really like the look of the back and your neck to body joint is a perfect
example of proper execution of this task.

I found it interesting to read that you get your heel cap exact before gluing
it on. I just did this same step last night and after much deliberation with
myself, decided to leave it a little proud on the 2 sides of the heel cap that
are not butted against the body.
Woke up this morning thinking about how I'm going to go after it to properly
finish it off. I'm sure it won't be a big deal but I may try your idea next time.
I guess I was worried about it slipping and coming up short and not noticing
until too late.

Thanks for the tip Hesh, I will try that next time.

I actually considered making it to fit and CA gluing it totally but chickened
out.

Man, if we weren't on opposite sides of the state I would be like the thing
that wouldn't leave!

I think more skill than luck my friend.
It looks like it grew that way.

What's up for 14?
