[quote]Michael I checked out the site and rosettes but you have to post a parental warning when you direct us to a site with banjos on the wall...... [/quote]

   That reminds me of what happened the last time I went to the local guitar store to try some. They let me play a few, and then sent me into the special room, and poured all kinds of guitars on me! But I noticed something weird! Everytime I stopped playing, the guitars didn't!

    When I looked around, all I could see was banjos there must of been 20 of the creepy things, just hangin on the wall. The resonance from the guitars was making all the little banjos sing along! It was "collateral play" of banjos!

I still have nightmares from it!

Hesh'ster -- that is probably one of the plainest, under appointed and ugliest guitars I've seen posted here in a very long time. You ought be ashamed. What's with the walnut, black binding, black ringed rosette. I think you should bring it to Bob's on the 29th -- and I will grudgingly store it for you for an eternity....and of course will come to love it as if it were one of my own

Of course you know I am kidding (well except about the part where you give it to me ) Great guitar Hesh!

hesh, truely beautiful guitar, i love the dark bindings on the walnut, it has class, and with the stealth bridge, which i felt was a very smooth elegent design I think this will be a graceful guitar.
As for your other guitars in the closet, I have space if you should ever have a problem.

I say, "HUBBA HUBBA"! Another nice one Hesh! I'm sending one off to Tony Saturday if I get it fretted in time...

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Russell Tony will, begrudgingly.... spray with the necks on but it is not his first choice. At least three of us that I know of are sending him guitars with the neck preinstalled. We know it makes the eventual neck reset more difficult but not impossible.[/QUOTE]

Who? you, me and Del?

Ervin's are finished with the neck on too... so at least we are not alone.
