Official Luthiers Forum!

I know I asked the question, but at least try to be decent. There's no
need to be abasive or belittling when, "I still don't prefer them," is enough
of a response.       

That's cool Hesh keep the cheque, just send the axe

Lacey great work, I had seen this inlay in earlier post and was then, as I am now, very taken with the simplicity of your design. Artistically stylish and tasteful. All in all a perfect match for this truly beautiful guitar.

Once again, well done guys

Cheers Kim

Hesh! I was going to make a Freak'in(Hope that's Ok Lance) smart remark about Tony being a little better if he would of talked you out of a burst.......but..... my brother!... That is really nice! I'm a sucker for ambers on guitars anyway, but that goes really well together!

You built this Bad Boy in a bathroom? My compliments!!!!

Hey!! That looks like a cool site on the monitor, what's the URL for that???

Seems like Hesh, the craftsman behind this awesome axe, was not put off by my comments or questions. Thanks, Hesh. Now I know it was an aesthetic choice and not masking a problem. I would have respected it either way.

Hesh - awesome -- you've sure got the photography knack.

I want your monitor -- man the size of that makes your guitar look like a uke!

Great Looking Hesh! You must have a good camera. The Pics are really clear w/ excellent resolutuion. I'll bet this one is going to sound superb. Go Snakewood...

The Tuning knobs are what got me - fantastic!

Amazing work once again Hesh! I was one who voted against the burst, I stand corrected. Beautiful!

I really dont care is someone bursts non-figured wood, we all know what straight grain looks like well enough.
My vote, seconded by Don W, and this may silence some of your detractors is to do a translucent burst nexttime - akin to my dearly departed Les Paul, Iced Tea or Honeybusrt, Lemon burst, something like that.
I got It - Washed Cherry! why no drool smiley icon
Laaaaaaaance.

Oh, no, not you, Dennis. The ruined guitar comments disappointed me.
Not in a perminent sense, but I had hoped for more with the question.

That`s gotta be the warmest burst I`ve seen yet, Hesh! It looks as though you could warm right up next to it!
