I thought it was all about the bass.

With some familiar faces for us old timers.

A t shirt at least!

Actually, it was about a week ago at PSP. The display room was filled with temptations and i succumbed. I've been thinking about a 530 for about a year but I hear first with my eyes, which so far has about a 90% success rate. I just didn't see one that I was willing to pull the trigger on. I was afraid if I tried one in a color I wasn't thrilled with, I would love the way it plays and wind up with a player not a stunner. I think I have bases covered on this one! I heard this one from across the room, and it was everything I was wanting. The neck is perfect for me as was the factory setup. Mike at Heritage told me this is one of two, River Blue, they did last year. The other one went to France. Anyway, I brought it home and am loving it. One other superficial feature I love on this one is the headstock inlay is white/ pearl and not amber. I can't wait to get home from this current work trip and do some more bonding.

Some of the inside baseball from PSP is they will soon be selling their pickups. Didn't get a specific time frame other than soon.

And many,many thanks to the HOC technical team!!

Ah! The caffeine just hit the last two working brain cells. The one I posted was a commemorative model to commemorate , funny how that works, the passing of the Heritage torch from the founders to the new owners.

Can't really see the finish but it's the best angle I have.

I found the pics I took at the factory. It was PSP IX (2016?) It's a different head stock than the one on Reverb. It looks better executed. The Reverb 150 is located in Muscle Shoals which is about 30 minutes from Moulton, JP's home town, so it's possible JP received it after his retirement and his family let it go. The shop that has it for sale also had a Terminator for sale a couple of years ago. I picked up a HFT-480 from a guy in Moulton, about an hour from me, a while back who told me his father was friends with JP and he got the guitar from him. It's not inconceivable that head stocks were in in the works before JP left. Anyway, a bit of a caffeine induce ramble. Here's the shots from PSP

I have a dim recollection of seeing those on a rack at one of the PSPs. I think I may have a Pic of it somewhere. I'll have to take a look in the archives.

Nice! I think i like the look of the back better than the top.
