Hesh, that's not over-the-top at all! Very tasteful wood combination. Looks like another winner from the House of Hesh!

OOOOH, That's pretty! I love Koa & the Snakewood looks great along side. I really like the shape.
I'm looking forward to watching this one grow.
The figure in the Koa is gonna pop beautifully when its finished.

Good Job, Hesh. I about to start another acoustic myself and I don't know what wood to use for the back and sides...I might use Koa, might not! I need to build one to bring out to the GAL meet this summer.

Hey Hesh,

Now that is just about everything I like in a guitar. Nice curvy simple elegance with the wood taking centre stage. All you need is a little bit more "curvature" (aka doming) in the top and back

Great craftmanship as usual. Hope that the "Klingon" bracing delivers the sound for you! Keep us posted.

That's beautiful, Hesh. Another fine job.

Every time I look at your guitars I have the urge to go to the bathroom.

Hesh,

I "strongly believe" that will be a gorgeous guit-fiddle. Only I think it REALLY will be. Keep us posted with pics!

WalterK, how goes the recovery?

You have to be kidding, right? The guitar is beautiful! I look at Koa like Homer simpson looks at donuts! The binding is awesome!

Maybe you were talking about the carpet?
That's not Carpet! That is inlay.... BWWWAAAAHHH!Billy T38790.1497106481

Hesh,

Gaudy is not all the right word for this guitar.Spectacular might be more appropriate. I love it and can't waite to see it under finish.

Spectacular Hesh! Man -- for a guy that works in a confined work place you can really crank them out!

Now all it needs is some of Lacey's gifted inlay and this one will be ready for a museum!
