Check pg 6 guys theres piles of new Braz sets on there again!
I might even get one - but I hear some flame mahogany calling my name.
Besides I have a good source for brazilian rosewood, , the dastardly cretin I am.

Hesh scores again ... a couple different ways...oh ya Rosewood looks nice too!

You know... If you strike out with Todd, you really owe it to yourself to call Steve @ Colonial. I just got 2 BRW sets from him for a pair of 0-12s and man they are AWESOME!!! And pretty reasonably priced too (for brazilian anyway)...

Zootman has some BRW posted on his site as well!

What more to ask for? Maybe to meet your favorite Bear?

Hesh, my good friend, I will gladly accept to be your guinea pig, so to speak, and test one of your fine guitars...

[QUOTE=Hesh1956]How about a beta site as we say in the software biz. I find a player who will play the heck out of one of my builds, enjoy it I hope too, and then we see how it holds up? I think that this would be of great value to me and I also suspect that someone would be thrilled to participate.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like a good plan! You must have some very good coffee-house players in your area who could give your guitar a workout (plus, it would introduce your work to other players, too).

Also, grab another one and seek out the best players you can find (yes, even the pros), and ask them first what they DON'T like about it. Let them know you're serious about asking this, and that this isn't just another sales pitch. Don't be hurt if they find a negative, just consider if it's something you could (or would want to) change in your next guitar. I also wouldn't be surprised if you find some of these folks asking "how much?".

Hesh,

I'll be your beta site, send me one of your guitars ( I get to pick of course) and I promise I will play the heck out of it and will keep you posted on how it holds up!!!!!!!!!!I am not famous or really that good but alot of fun and a really good guy. Matter of fact, I would like to extend this offer to all you guys, send me one of your guitars (for my collection of course) and I will keep you posted weekly on how it is doing and how much I like playing it. I wish I could just pick as they are posted, over these last few months it seems that new benchmarks are beig hit on these builds and the newbies, unbelievable, they are lights out nice and first timers to boot.
