Hesh, Wish I built so nicely when I had "no particular concept" in mind. Beautiful top. Are those braces by hand, or do you use a jig? Beauty! Jeff |

Looks good, Hesh. Get excited! It's not the wood, but the woodworker that makes a fine guitar. |

Looking very good my friend. Very good indeed. Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less of a Heshtone... I too, like Lacey, hope that she sounds as good as all the love and care that went into making it

Nice guitar Hesh. I do like the ebony. I wish I could complete a guitar with minimal time. I'm such a newbie. Oh well... |

Nice work so far Hesh. Ebony and walnut- nice together! When do you think your going to finish... Er, I know, I know right before you finish it! 
Turnbuckles for spreaders, Man, I never thought of that! You're not going avoid bursting because of us are you? I'd hate to think that our tastes were keeping somebody from a treatment they loved! 
Nice looking so far! I really like these progress shots! |

Hesh, nice clean work. Hey, you give away your age with Number 9, Number 9, Number 9. I can relate which means I come from that era as well. What id all the writing on the soundboard?? Diary?? Really nicely done and you brought some new perspective with the way you brace the sides in the mold for assembly. I always wrestle getting the wooden blocks to clam at the waiste are and I see you block above the waist at the upper bout which makes good sense. Sometimes its the simple things in life that are most puzzling. Great job. |

Hesh, keep it up, i know i'm slow right now but i hope to be able to do like you after my current build, sometimes it feels like i'm restarting anew, i had to redo most of my jigs and i try to learn the right way this time. You and Lacey make a great team but you alone have a good pace and your sense of organisation pays off, you won't believe me if i say i'd trade my shop for yours anytime but don't forget that less is more, and i'm proud to be by your side(ok, from a distance  ) and witness your achievements, you are also that kind of guy that raises the bar either by the questions you put forward and by the great craftmanship you deliver.
Now you're lucky you're far, you would have the biggest Bear hug of your life!!!

Hesh, I am a big fan of your work. Very nice choice of woods, the term "understated elegance" stick in my head when I look at it. Beautiful walnut too! |

Very nice Hesh. Should be a beauty when it's finished. That walnut sure looks familiar.

Hesh, Looking good Id say, I'd be interested in hearing soundclips when your finished - Im planning something pretty similar with the set I just won on the OLF auction, Are you making any headway with your computer recording situation? Cheers Charliewood |

Hey Hesh, man you are fast, it seems you have a guitar to show us every week!
This one seems to be another winner, keep up the good work! |
