[QUOTE=MichaelP] Man that set is dark compared to most Myrtle..[/QUOTE]

It's not typical Myrtle as we have in the States. And the dark spots are from a fungus that invades the pores, giving it that spotted cat look. It's a fairly pinkish wood without all the brown thoufh, more similar to our myrtle.

Just lovely. It must be agonizing to have it so close to being done. Can't wait for the final unveiling.

just an awesome job. i think i have to consider having tony do my brazilian, do you send it to him finished with 220 grit, do you seal or does he do the entire process? think i will definatley send him my job. can paint in the winter time. and even if i could i dont think i have been all that successful with finish work.

What an outstanding back! It really popped with a finish. Very well done, Hesh. There will be another beautiful guitar in your living room very shortly!
