Hesh, it is indeed a one of a kind Dreadnaught my brother! Great combo, it will be a delight to see under Tony's work!

I'm sure it will sing loud, clear and balanced!

I feel priviledged that no 9 that's in my possession now was created in your bathroom bro and quite frankly, i'm gonna miss that bathroom Karma, if you remember what i told you in Fort Erie, it had a bit to do with how great you build, i can somehow relate since my shop feels unconventional at times but as i also said lately, you and me need bigger shops, you first my friend, you well deserve the best and so does Lacey, it will feel weird to be in another environment at first but i trust your good judgement to make it a comfie place for you!

You always find a way to make us proud to know you so keep on going bro, you got the wind blowing for you!

Serge

Hesh -- another fine example of the meticulous clean work we've come to expect of you.   

Jeanne -- that was brilliant!

EDIT: And Hesh -- congratulations on coming out of the [water]closet Anthony Z38949.9928356481

Hey Hesh, are you going to have that one sunbursted, got to do something to cover up all that stripey stuff on the top!


Great crafstmanship as usual. Another success for Fleshtone guitars.

Hesh: That looks super clean...just lovely.

Jeanne, if you learn to build guitars like you crank out the poetry, you will be dangerous indeed!

Hesh you might be on to something!   Looking at the pictures again have you thought of having Tony amber the finish a little to give it a vintage vibe?

Hi Hesh

I delivered a guitar to a customer on Friday, and he owned a special edition Martin from Brazilian and ADI, it had what they called a vintage tint, but it was too yellow, just looked terribly unnatural, I have seen it done well with french polish, where they add some amber flake and the result to my eye is much more natural.

I think you have made a wise choice to go natural on this one, that beautiful grain is just going to jump out

Come towards the Light
