Let's not forget JP Moats, one of the original founders.

The black tailpieces are hard to get. It's easy to get Gold or Nickel from ABM but black probably will be a special order.

I just checked my email for more information and amazingly I still had ABMs email. I hope this helps.

That tailpiece is made by ABM Guitar Parts, Division of JOWO GMBH, Wolfener Str. 36 Haus X Berlin, BE 12681 Germany DE. They make a long and short version, you want the long tailpiece in black for a Heritage Johnny Smith. If ABM doesn't have a black tailpiece in stock they will make one for you. Talk to Peter Borowski at ABM. You might find one in stock at a guitar parts supplier. This is old info from November 2018 so things might have changed since then. Fab guitar. Good luck.

Sometimes it's not just the wiring. This video is mostly about cabinets but at the very end the camera pans over a Bartel amp circuit. https://youtu.be/hngt_M2Vx08?si=jxgB4rfPhB1BN0cT

One more picture because this guitar would not have been possible without Master Luthier Mr. Peter Farmer.

More pictures of the Heritage Millie SuperLight.

You knew this was coming, I was busy and couldn't post this until today. I believe this was the last Millie made by Heritage (January 2019). It just had the full Spa treatment at "The Music Gallery" from George. 1 replacement tuner (B string), new strings, polished frets and intonated. They also weighed it for the first time and it was 5.7lbs. I meet the guy that created the pickup at this years PSP and he got to see the completed guitar.

Try this YouTube link Chris.

Fab guitar Will. Good times.

When Heritage makes a custom guitar for you they will eliminate the nibs by putting the frets on top of the binding. If you ask nicely. Good times.

Wear earplugs.

Fab guitar as are all Heritage Johnny Smiths. I like the volume and tone controls mounted under the pickguard.

I was one of those people. One morning Marv called me and asked if I would like to try the neck on the first Millie they were building for me (at the time I thought it would be the only Millie they would build for me, ha). I live 200 miles from the Heritage factory and I'm not sure Marv knew that. Sooo I finished breakfast and off I went. What a thrill to talk with Marv about the carve of the neck!

That Heritage Rambo #3 pickup is Fab. Everything else sounds pretty nice too.
