Got it back from my amp guy today. Sounds really good. He replaced the reverb tank with a smaller one and relocated it to avoid the hum/buzz. Runs super quiet and well now. Also had him connect the bias adjustment pot to the back panel so i don't have to pull the chassis when re-biasing.

LOL, they do! Always thought it was weird, but kind of understand it now. I have one very nice guitar, that is so nice, that I get nervous touching it and have OCD to wipe it down every time I get it out for a while. Bought it from a friend who lives in Japan. I'm afraid to take it out anywhere. It's gorgeous and plays like a dream. But a few years ago, was offered a killer deal on a new Gibson 60th anniversary Custom Shop 1960 Les Paul reissue. It came "lightly aged". I have no "first nick" trepidation and pull it out to play with ease. I'll even take it out to a jam or what not. I've always made my own patina, but it seems to take decades. The most "patina" of mine is a 1984 Fender Esprit, and it already had some significant marks when I bought it in 1988.

As this thread diverts from guitar Joe's original intent, perhaps we should remind the Nube of forum founding orthodoxy. #1 Many of us know each other in person from previous PSPs (pilgrimages to 225 Parsons Street) #2 We hold the founders Marv, Jim, Rem and Bill as either living legends or national treasures. Meeting them to tour the 1917 factory is a lifetime memory #3 Out politics consist of CNC vs hand carved and what constitutes the Golden Age /Classic or Vintage Heritage. #4 We do not care if non cult members don't like the headstock #5 Most of us being baby boomers are realistic these are not investments like a 1948 - 1969 Ted McCarty Gibson. Anyone else care to comment?

I got this beauty used from Willcutt's a couple of years ago. Like new, not blemish anywhere. Did I say it came with Throbak P-90s that are just f'ing INCREDIBLE!!! She was under $3K. I think my LP Jr/137 tones are covered. Heritage has lost it's way. No way a Heritage 137 slab guitar (with a stupid tuneamatic & stoptail??? wtf???) should cost over $2500.
