Very nice Hesh, and what a great looking stable you have there!

By the way, where do you find those guitar racks?

Hesh, I actually think you need a few more guitars.... say, another 20? 30?

That looks like a fantastic instrument my friend.

Beautiful, clean and superb craftsmanship! Another top drawer instrument from the Heshtone shop...

I can't wait to try it out! I'm learing some Don Ross to try and make those bad girl growl... (the guitars, I mean... )

Do you think there is a difference with the HHG? Although I don't have much experience to draw from, I found that my HHG guitar vibrated and sustained a lot more than my titebond one...

Hesh, beautiful guitar: I really like the no bling approach, it makes the great execution stand out. Everything has to be really crisp when there isn't a lot of bling to distract the eye.
I'm finishing up a dred whith H. Mahogany from Bob C. and it has those same great colors - looked fairly plain until I put the Zpoxy on and I was very pleasently suprised.
How about a picture of the bracing on the top? We need more information on a guitar that sounds so good.

                Peace, Paul

That's really cool, Hesh. Did you find your senses simply improving, or
are you learning more about voicing techniques?

Oh me Oh my, that is very very nice Hesh.

Your guitars are getting better and better with each one finished.

Just under 5lbs for a Dred is good aint it? That sure sounds lite to me.

Very well done once again Hesh.

Hesh, i love everything about this guitar!

Bro, you gotta lend it to me for a couple of months to open it up gooooood!

Na, you wouldn't, right?

A very beautiful and elegant, refined DReadnaught, probably the finest i've ever seen in my life bro! She's just awesome and you and Alain just convinced me to use HHG throughout the next builds!

Proud of you brother!

Dang Hesh, that's one sweet looking guitar! Very well done. When are you going to start selling some of those? You need to put one or two up on the luthiersauctions site and make room for your new babies.

Cheers!

I really like this one, Hesh. A tastey combination of woods, and your usual fine workmanship. It's GOTTA sound good! I'm glad you're taking the "less is more" approach. After all, there are most likely a couple hundred D-18's that sound better than Martin's flashy "Millionth" guitar, and the sound is what really counts.

BTW, I'm glad you're back in action!!!
