Nice looking guitar. I've also contemplated the full multi-effects route as I had a pedal board that was way too heavy and had a couple of failures that took way to long to figure out. I've simplified a lot of it and sold off a bunch of pedals to use mutli-purpose pedals. (Not really "multi-effects") How does this unit compare tonal-wise to what you had before? Here’s my slimmer board, I have swapped the Timmy and the BM so I can use the BM as a volume/clean boost. The Wampler has two inputs and two outputs so I can save presets as either a preamp effect or use in the effects loop.

I used to put the single coil sized humbuckers in my Strat's for year, that sounded good, but never quite what I wanted. When I got a Tele style guitar (Reverend Buckshot), I did the same thing again. Still sounded okay. My last Reverend was a Trickshot which again, I used a ZexCoil in the bridge. Sounded okay again. A couple years ago, I bought a used Highway 1 (1st Gen) Strat that had a single coil sized rail in the bridge pickup. That sounded awesome! I've since starting using a Dimarzio Chopper T in the bridge of my Am Pro II Tele and I absolutely love it. Its noiseless, has some great spank, but still sounds like a single coil. I've since converted both my Strats to Dimarzio single coil rail pickups. A Chopper in a Player Series Strat and a Fast Track 2 in a "vintage" American Standard. Both sound great; just another option if you want a noiseless option that still sounds like a single coil

I was asking a serious question and it wasn't very nice of you to answer in that manner.

Nice score. What did you change on it or what did the previous owner change? Those old 140's have a seriously deep dish carve on the top, so much so, the pickup rings would crack. Hard to tell if the pickups were swapped, but the rings are new(er) and I think the top-hat knobs are also a replacement part. Only other thing I saw was the screws for the tuners were black. Nothing wrong with any of that, but if you paid a higher price then you'd like, I hope it wasn't sold as an all-original with a repaired headstock.

Wowzers, that's some series string gauges. I used 12's on an acoustic, but I'm basically strumming chords. On any electric, there is just no way I could do that when it comes to vibrato, bends, etc. Hats off to you!

Have you tried that yet? It seems relatively new which may explain why I really haven't seen anyone talk about it.

You can bet any guitar from 2015 or earlier that has a huge neck, it was most likely neck carved by Marv with his famous "Marv-Carve". I know there was a unique H157 that Marvin did several years ago from the neck carving to the paint. Maybe others would know this, but I also believe any unique custom one-off may have been worked by Marv.

Pressure, you haven't changed a bit. And those are pretty decent guitars, I'd say. My 1996 H535's label has Marv's signature, along with all the other owners of the day, and Ren. Don't know why they all signed that one, but it's a neat feature. Thoroughly lousy pic below...

Thanks Steiner, That's just the kind of harsh talk and punishment that I ni, ni, kneeded. Now off to find a nice shrubbery to appease the admin.

Wow, I was just checking out the DC resistance for those pickups. 17.7k for the neck and 29.2k for the neck. That's a lot of turns! I also noticed the "Hot Chicken" set with Neck: 15.8k, Bridge: 26.46k.

No. Eagles were Classic, Golden and Super. Never a number that I saw.

For having made such a silly, ridiculous error you must remove the offending finger, preferably at the shoulder. Do not concern yourself with such an action, ‘Tis but a flesh wound. Now go away or I shall taunt you some more.

And last but not least the Heritage Millie SuperLight. Hand built by Master luthier Mr. Pete Farmer at the Heritage factory with the new guard.

Here is the cavity of the H170 Heritage built for me with all the Heritage signatures on the label.

Here I am discussing the Prospect build with Marv.

I had the privilege to have custom Heritage guitars built for me. Here are a few. This is the first Millie they built for me. Marv, me and Jim with the unfinished Millie.

I’ve had 14s on my Super KB for years. No problem. But, your point is well taken.

I have given them a try nice pickups! The CC pickup in the neck position is a particularly cool pickup. I'm not a fan of Lollars across the board, but they make certain pickups that do it for me. The Heritage H535 P90 that Kuz sold me has a particularly good set of Lollar P90s which generally I never liked before, buit these pickups changed my mind about Lollar P90s... My Teye La Perla has custom made for Teye Lollar low wound Imperials and I LOVE them... [img]https://i.imgur.com/HMAEORY.jpg[/img]

Would you show any of his handwrittings or signature off his built Heritages?

Give these Lollars a try sometime. Otherworldly.

Damn! Nice find!

I bet Marv built tons of Heritage guitars along with the other owners. And other builders. good luck documenting any of them I recognize his handwriting on a lot of labels

there was a 225 parsons st model too Did the eagle have a model #?

hahaha!

I used 0.011s on my ‘94 H-550. They were pretty slinky but still drove the guitar well. Lots of punch.
