Make sure you credit the original photographer who took that pic! He got rather pissed off when I didn't one time: I was unfamiliar with photography etiquette, and try to avoid doing that since then

those are nice pickups!

Marv is looking good! excellent story & pic, thanks for posting that I recall meeting Marv's grandson at PSP one year

What an excellent segment: I watched the whole thing Hell of an introduction pretty funny great interview! Rich said something that has resonated with me for some time about guitars: "functional art" Much of a guitar's beauty is based on functional design. It's true: they are objects to be admired. But they go beyond drawings, paintings or most sculptures etc. A musical instrument is a creative tool to be used, to be inspired by, to play, and to generate new ideas. Or just rehash "hang on sloopy" to your hearts content. It's all good.

yes, careful not to burn your fingers on that molten top!

that one was made down the street at 230 Parsons

I dunno, I have both Pickguards are nice once you get your picking hand familiar with it & it works as a guide, to orient your playing without needing to look at your hand. Likewise without: I get used to using the pickup rings instead, as a guide to rest a finger on. Actual funcionality as a pickguard: It would make more sense to me to be ABOVE the strings, as I tend to hit the body more above the low E string, while using a pick. Not having a pickguard & all that free air kind of feels like "going commando" and not wearing any underwear. Sort of liberating in a way I don't know if I have a preference. I do really like the old wooden pickguards Heritage used to use.

nice H550's in this thread! A lot of players who use heavier strings tune down to make it easier to bend. SRV famously, probably inspired by Hendrix

that was really good. As usual. That Sweet 16 just kills! beautiful guitar

5 Reasons to switch to Modeling Amps - Yes or No?
bolero replied to DetroitBlues's topic in Amplification and Effects
that's too bad, it was funny! edit: I think you guys should change your band name. It would be hilarious, especially with a female singer. I bet you'd get more gigs! -

New Heritage Tap Tuned Archtop Model? H-717
bolero replied to tbonesullivan's topic in Heritage Guitars
There are reasons why Lester William Polsfuss got into building a solid body guitar, instead of just playing the existing hollowbodies of the time. -
What ever happened to David Paul? Partial answer.

He's a gene pool boy, for sure -
I was being serious. If you are offended that isn't my fault, it wasn't my intention either. You are reading far too much into that statement. I would have said exactly the same thing to any friend I was having that discussion with. Not only that, but I went to the effort of additional details that likely affect your perception of sound & volume. You are welcome.

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

Introducing the Heritage Custom Shop Core Collection H-717
bolero replied to pressure's topic in Heritage Guitars
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 -
wow that's a beauty! B serial & a stinger drool
