I wonder if it's got anything to do with the metallurgy of the transformers: old vs new

ah, I see all's well that ends well. I like the small block inlays too.

good news does it have a headstock repair or something? a pic would be good to see? Curious about what's going on with it

DB you got the neck all sorted out now?

hehe

I do like the bullet holes in the amp grill though. nice grouping.

that looks totally fake to me. you shoulda done a better job. 🤣

Well congrats!! I always liked that gtr. If I remember correct some guy at a PSP shredded the hell outta that thing, back in the barn days? did it justice for sure. A good repair shop should be able to repair the neck & truss rod.

don't be flicking any boogers on that fuzzy dufflebag

Those are some nice licks 😅

Yes I was paraphrasing with that Hendrix comment. Lots of reasons people want old worn looking guitars. And why not? if it inspires you to play more, or enjoy using it, it's all good. Even if you hang it on a wall & never play it, it's art. Not my place to judge.

wow that is a really good idea!

I don't get it either but I understand it. Not everyone can afford a strat Jimi Hendrix lit on fire, but everybody wants one

speaking of Carlos Jobim & that song... This is a good article: ( ps the website is about skin care & health! ) https://brazilianskin.com/blogs/news/the-girl-from-ipanema-brazilian-beauty I have a 575 with P90s, maybe I'll call it "Helo"

the finishes look good. It makes sense they have a different line based on slimmer neck shape & weight relief. Nice to have coil tapping stock too. from: https://guitar.com/news/gear-news/heritage-guitars-standard-ii-collection-h-150/ "The launch continues Heritage’s 40th anniversary celebrations, with 2025 continuing to be a “landmark year” for the brand. So far, Heritage has also notably debuted the Custom Shop H-717 archtop and the Ascent Collection: a line of accessible instruments designed to bring Heritage’s craftsmanship to a wider audience." "So Far" hmm I wonder what else we are in store for in 2025?

very sad to hear condolences & RIP

beautiful. congratulations!

wow!!!

wow, look at that!! congrats

All joking aside, that is a masterpiece!

That has a Kahler whammy bar now

I heard from now on all hollowbodies will come with routed Kahler tremolo systems with those locking nut things on the headstock

-->At one of the PSP's, a large stash of old Banjo parts was spotted, and it's been a long-running joke that Heritage would build Banjos again They did build a few at one point Myself, I was hoping for some Accordions too

I guess we'll find out on the 25th. Otherwise its just wild speculation & banter

good info, thx!
