Ken Rambo made the first floaters Heritage used. There were 2 or 3 different pickups designated by stickers on the bottom. Heritage floating pickups are now made in house and they are Fab.

Additional pictures. The pic on the cart of my unfinished H170 seems to have a Marvbird in the background.

Throbaks in an H170, of course. From 2014.

And last but not least the Heritage Millie SuperLight. Hand built by Master luthier Mr. Pete Farmer at the Heritage factory with the new guard.

Here is the cavity of the H170 Heritage built for me with all the Heritage signatures on the label.

Here I am discussing the Prospect build with Marv.

I had the privilege to have custom Heritage guitars built for me. Here are a few. This is the first Millie they built for me. Marv, me and Jim with the unfinished Millie.

Fab guitar, I love it.

I've got a Fab 100 watt Mesa KingSnake combo that has a single 12" speaker and it works just fine. Amazing!

I haven't seen the body size listed. I'm guessing 18" like their large jazz guitars. From the pictures published I don't see fretboard markers, my preference for them is 4mm pearl dots. I wonder if you can specify a "Ghost Stinger" as an option?

What a surprise, a new Fab jazz guitar from Heritage. Reasonably priced for a hand built American made jazz guitar.

Wowzers. Fab new guitar from Heritage.

The ABM tailpieces are sized to the guitar.

Ahhh cold beer. One of the benefits of being the piano player is a good place to put your beer.

Not everything is an upgrade, sometimes it's just a change.

I have asked that question myself and have not gotten an answer. For what it's worth Heritage 5-piece necks need truss rod adjustments.

You mean like this Millie. My first Heritage Custom Shop build from 2011.

Fun tour, I have great respect for Metropoulos amps.That reminds me of Jim Ws front room. Ha.

Heritage use 3 different headstock sizes. Large for Jazz guitars, medium and small for most electric guitars. I wish I had found that out sooner. My last custom build, the Heritage Millennium SuperLight, should have had a small headstock but I had them use the medium size because it looked more balanced to me. Don't forget Heritage had a number of unconventional guitar models that used completely different headstocks, I'm looking at you MarvBird.

I have a Mesa KingSnake which is also supposed to be simple but there is simple and then there's Mesa simple. I think it weighs about 85 lbs. I can't move it anywhere, ha. Good times.

I have 2 Heritage Millennium's with spruce tops. I also have a Heritage Prospect, 2 Heritage Johnny Smith's all with spruce tops and a Heritage 170 with a spruce back. It gets worse, my Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster has a spruce body. I also had a Hammer Newport 90 that had a spruce top (Fab guitar). I might have forgot some but you get the idea. Good times.

Merry Christmas to all.

I think they belong to a local, to me, guitarist. I bought an H160v, snC08603 from him.

When Heritage built custom guitars for me that needed a center block, I always specified that they use Spruce for the block. I like light guitars.

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