    @MartyGrass...Awesome collection! 😍

    Awesome! I pulled my 2007 H555 out for a quick comparison In addition to the new larger headstock shape, these new H555's have 5-ply binding around the body (one more than previous models), and 3-ply around the headstock (2 more than before). Interestingly, the f-holes are now unbound. Still, I'm glad to see Heritage bring back its blingy triple nickel semi-hollow. Here's my '07...

    Excellent analysis. For me, my first choice will always be a tube amp, with a few pedals. That said, the closest I'll get to a modeler, is my DV Mark Eric Gales Raw Dawg 250. Connected to a 2x12 speaker cab, that tiny box can fill a small auditorium with great tone.

    Tad, I think you'd love an 80's Rivera-era Fender Princeton Reverb II. Only 22 watts and 6V6 tubes, but it sounds like a much bigger rig. 🙂

    New and used H530's are available from a variety of sellers, and are a great hollow body option. Another option is the much more rare H525. It's tone is a bit thicker due to its 2 1/4""body depth. I believe there is one currently for sale by an HOC member on this board as well as on Reverb.

    Awesome Marty! What a thoughtful and generous gift.

    I put my HOC 137 (#004) up for sale a while back, in my attempt to thin my herd of gitfiddles. I'm so weak, that after a couple of weeks, I pulled it OFF the market. That thing has such great tone, and wonderfully full neck, I couldn't bear to let her go.

    Awesome photo!

    I've got no skin in the game, and respect Heritage for trying to reach the beginner or low income guitar buyer. My only issue is the bolt-on necks of some of the Heritage imports. Sure its cheaper to build than a set neck, but it's a big turn-off, unless you're building a Strat or Tele type guitar. To me that really cheapens the guitar and diminishes the brand.

    A hollow body Heritage version of the original ES-140 would have been a cool build IMHO.

    And what about the names "Prospect", "Academy"? Were those Kalamazoo street names?
  13. Gitfiddler
    Clips from those beautiful guitars and big ass amps?!

    Awesome snatch, Brent! Play it in good health.

    Ahh, feedback! That's why solid and semi-hollow body gits were created. You might need to invest in a 535 for playing out with that Z rig. 🙂
