Naetharu Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi folks, I just got an email from Adrian this morning to say my new Maruszczyk Elwood has been finished and is on its way to me. He sent me a nice pic too so I thought I would share it with you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have severe GAS for a Hellwood 5 with purpleheart instead of padouk. Has anyone figured out how to pronounce [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maruszczyk yet? Morris? Maroosk? Not enough vowels in the last half of that word for my liking![/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal2404 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Beautiful Elwood, for sure! Curious, how long did it take in the end ? (Hoping it was less than 10 weeks ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naetharu Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Pretty quick - I think between five and six weeks. I was very surprised to get the email saying it was done today - I had expected to wait another couple of weeks at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zawinul Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Very nice, i've emailed Adrian a few times and he always seems quite grumpy and not that helpful as I keep asking questions about narrow necks and narrow string spaces!!

I also got a similar email from Adrian this morning... but although I love mine, visually yours is in another league entirely Mine is pretty pedestrian looking, by design, and I don't regret it, yours is a work of art... congratulations!!! I'll post mine separately... but it'll look like the ugly duckling next to yours Edited September 10, 2015 by mcnach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naetharu Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) [quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1441890499' post='2862639'] Very nice, i've emailed Adrian a few times and he always seems quite grumpy and not that helpful as I keep asking questions about narrow necks and narrow string spaces!! [/quote] I think it is more that his English is a second language - he's very brief in his emails and to the point but he did give me some good advice. I found it best to keep the emails very clear in terms of the English you use and stick to short simple sentences. I know where you are coming from but I am pretty sure its a language barrier issue rather than his being grumpy.
