When I had an H550 I used nothing but flatwound 12's, and it sounded great. Since 550's are plywood/laminate top guitars, shouldn't they be durable enough for 13's or 14's? I miss this big blonde gitfiddle.

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.

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 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

They made 40 of these.

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...

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.

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.

Damn! Nice find!

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

Must be a pretty stiff neck to jump two guages without a tweak. Fantastic.

Apparently that was me… but it wasn’t I who disagreed with you, it was my big dumb clumsy scrolling thumb that took the low road there. My apologies; was not intentional. This has been rectified and replaced with a much more appropriate up vote; my fingers will be punished to the fullest extent of whatever my imagination can come up with for a witty and clever finger specific punishments. My thumbs laugh in the face of truth and physics.

I know he was involved in the H-157 staple single coil model. I think they made a few dozen.

Did they explain why they chose 717 as the model #? So far, numerical prefixes have been 1,3,5 No 7's until now? any others? why no 2,4,6's? I can maybe understand why no 2's or 4's. Avoids all the 2x4 jokes

I did not have a problem with the info. It was the "Are you serious?" part of the response. If I were asked a question about why a Cmin7#11 chord resolves into an F7+11 I would give a polite answer and not "Are you serious?" (Which has an implication.....) followed by the answer. I was raised that there are no dumb questions but plenty of dumb insensitive answers to good questions. I know a butt load of stuff about music and guitar playing and not ashamed to admit very little about the electronics of guitar playing. You're welcome.
