Hesh and Joe,

The guitar looks fab! I hope to bring my latest on Monday for Joe to take back with him. I have some questions since I have already pore filled with Z-poxy and sanded to 320. Joe, please PM me for further detail discussion or send me your Phone # so we can talk.

Best regards,

Oh no - I just realized that I forgot to make a neck for this one....... :( :o :D

Seriously Neck pics should be along as soon as Joe takes some more pics. Joe can do either a satin finished neck like Taylor or a high gloss just like the body. This one has a high gloss neck.

Hey! I think I'm going to borrow that from Lance. "Finger Licking Finishes" I wonder if I will have to include a nutrition label now? :D

Max, I will pm you.

Hesh, neck? Wha' chu' talkin' bout? :mrgreen:
Just kidding, neck photos to you in a bit. Just came back home to grab my tripod.

Very pretty Hesh. That finish looks great.

Joe do you do finish work for other people, or just Hesh?

Hey Joe! I'm interested in having you do some finish work for me also. Could you e-mail me off-list for price info, etc? justinmanter@gmail.com

John, I'm afraid Hesh was able to get me looped on Saki at our first meeting at a Chinese restaurant. Before I knew what had happened, I had signed an all exclusive, non-negotiable contract that has me locked into Hesh's next 300 guitars. :o

I just placed an order for 299 childs cigar box guitar kits and they will be delivered to Hesh by the end of next week. I suspect that will keep him busy for a few days?
Seriously, I can finish for anyone that wishes to trust me with their work. Thanks for asking.

Joe saki....... :D Was that before or after the cockroach ran across our table........

OK folks as promised Mr. Joe White just emailed me some pictures of the neck and again I am pleased as punch.

Mind you this guitar has not been set up yet so I still have to buff out the frets and fret board, install the BRW bridge, polish my nuts........., and polish my bridge pins (yeah I know that is just nuts but super easy with them chucked in a cordless drill and micro mesh pads). Some tuners would help too......

Please take a look.

shiny is an understatement...notice how the natural beauty of the wood is so clear and 'deep'...man, awesome work! (both the luthier and finisher)

Hesh,

The finish and the guitar really look nice. And to think that you didn't even need to paint this one black. ;)

Glad to be able to post again. My home computer has been dead since before Christmas and I have had little access from work because I've been too busy.

Nice one Hesh!

Philip
