I really really like the look with the bold black lines, especially around the abalone in the soundhole ring.

Man that's a nice look, I think the builder is Hesh?

[quote]One sunburst in 10 is not to bad though....[/quote]

    One too many! As they say on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show! Don't make it worse, it's Badanoff!



Very nice work Bud! It seemed like you flew through this one!

That looks fantastic Hesh. I knew that walnut would really come alive under finish. You rosette is absolutely superb! I really like the simplistic binding approach as well. Another winner from the Heshtone shop!

Wait'l y'all see the "Cowboy" Collings in the new Acoustic Guitar mag!

Hesh, I've gotta say that I'd be proud to have built (or bought) that guitar (yours, not the "Cowboy"). Really appealing!

I Love it Hesh, The walnut is really pretty under finish.

I didn't realise that Tony sprays your guitars with the neck attached, that must be difficult.

That looks great. Excellent job. I would guess Hesh as the builder but there is no burst.
