Hesh, thanks for the plug my friend your dime is in the mail

Hesh,

You are always one of the first to step in and help others by saying their problems will be ok. It’s my turn to help you.

Don’t worry too much your guitar it looks just fine. In the long run most people won’t even notice the uneven color or all the funny looking lines in your wood. If it really bothers you then you can always finish the back and sides in black to look like one of those world class guitars they sell on TV. Have a beer …. It will be OK.


Hesh,

This is just another beautiful guitar that you have created. I love how you have let the qualities of this fine wood to speak for itself without overdoing the adornments. I’m going for a similar look on my first if I can ever get to work on it. You have done yourself proud!!

Philip

Practice breeds confidence and confidence breeds competence. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in practice.

every time I see the subject line of this and Andy's post I want break into a verse from an old Cream song.

"Away in the dark, ? ? ?"

If you can finish this line yypur as old and crusty as I am.

Well now, that one's just about perfect, isn't it?!

Man, that's really nice, Hesh.  When do you get it to finish up.  Everything about that one is fine.

Great looking guitar Hesh, can't wait to see it when it's finished...

Now that everyone's seen the "after" pictures, I thought you might be interested in what (part) of your guitar looked like when it was younger:
