Gotta admit, the Toad sure got some beautiful woods on his Blues Deluxe's. What a gorgeous guitar.

What a beautiful shot of a gorgeous guitar.

You can't see it very well in this picture, but that back is actually a dark maroon color. Really set off the front OSB. All in all this is a very beautiful example of Heritage guitars. Last seen in the possession of HoC'er cosmikdebris.

This access plate is from an H157 OSB. It's the one I purchased from Doug at Doug's Tubes. Last seen it was in the UK, owned by Cosmikdebris. It was my first Heritage guitar.

I purchased this guitar from Doug's Tubes in 2007. It was Doug's personal guitar. Color is Old Style Burst. It is incredibly rich in color and flame, and absolutely beautiful. It has a Custom Shop Sticker showing SD '59s as the pickups. Last seen it was sold to member Cosmikdebris, residing in the UK. Weight - nearly 10lbs. Neck - very typical Heritage residing somewhere between '60s slim and 50's fat. Back of the guitar is deep maroon. No stinger.

Just wanted to comment that this a relatively "rare" Heritage Millennium. It has a ply top and back, where most Millies are solid carved tops. Also, this particular guitar is one a few that are arched both top and back with no access plate, ala the 535, etc. It has that wonderful open woody tone you would expect from a semi-hollow (semi-solid). Yet can get down and hang right with a solid body. The body does have that unique semi vibration thang going on when pushed, which shows it's true semi nature. It's a wonderful example of the craftsmanship at Heritage Guitar.

What a stunning guitar.

That pic really shows the 3 layers of laminate quite well. BTW, that SAE is arched top and back. Not many were made like that.
