Road Trip! Don't forget your pic Take your wallet Report back here

Considering Heritage's old guard only made a few 12s they most likely did not consider having "capos friendly" added to the ingredients. When I ordered a Prospect with p90's it was obvious they modified the standard humbucker pickup cavity to "FIT" P90s but the lack of rings to adjust height was a compromise. Doubt it made sense to alter the neck set angle and the top curve as that would be considerable.

What I find unique about the Roy C is the neck joins the body around the 17th fret. Notice the bridge lies high up between the f holes. Assume? More comfortable to play with less of a reach to the nut? Thoughts?

like the newer headstock don't notice the horn as much until you post back 2 back. Weights?

At 14 years I had the opposite of that ghost built, an old harmony that was unplayable. Kids today are so lucky/ family encouragement. Back in 1964, you know the Beatles were a fad, so no value was attached to guitars. Will got an accordion because Lawrence Welk now that was real music, plus the ladies loved the Poka. To have such a fine instrument to gift your grands, that's a lump in the throat.

Ho Ho Ho Heritage!

With your next promotion your choices are.... Pinto - Maverick or Vega

Diminished the value? As the OP asked, I don't think Squire diminished the value of Fender nor Epiphone, Gibson. Smart business move for brand awareness. If I remember correctly, with GM you first car was a Chevy with the next promotion a Buick. When you moved into management an Oldsmobile and when the kids graduate college and move out, Caddy. Marketing 101

Wow as Gomer Pile would say...surprise surprise surprise!!!

OMG that's it!!!!!!!

Stop bragging, you grew up rich kid. I had to wait till I was 14 to get an old Harmony with a neck so bad it could not be played above the second fret. That Kent in a pawn show was my dream guitar. If I ever was able to get my hands on 30 bucks, I would beg for an extension cord and plug it direct into the wall socket. Took me till I was 20 before I got a 1961 Stratocaster for $65.

Er should have ended with we are "OK" with it.

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?

So that's a no. Have you considered adding the little gismo you install under the knobs with that pointer to determine by feel where you are in the taper on the pots? For smaller gigs it could be used like governor.

Rich, What is your take on adding speed knobs that go for 0 to 11 rather the stock ones topping out at 10?
