Wow, great inlay.

When you say the finishing was becoming to dangerous, I presume you are talking about spraying NitroCelluose. Did you ever try brushing on an oil finish for your previous guitars ?

Incredible, Hesh. That top is awesome, and the inlay is amazing. Your girlfriend has some real talent. Does she have any sisters?

Hey Hesh, where did you get my redwood top? I know where you got it I have two from the same billet. WOW It looks super dupper. I adore the head stock inlay a Day Lilly and a peace sign. Somthing tells me we grew up in the same decade

Great work MichaelP38754.8881828704

You know guys, it's realy Hesh's girlfriend who's the builder, Hesh, he just posts everything cause she's shy.

Nice work.

That is great work. Kudos to your girlfriend! How did she learn to do that so well. The guitar looks very clean, you should be excited. Clinton
