  1. Here ya go. Hmmm...just noticed a lighting/reflection issue that makes it look like a vertical scratch. But she's perfect. 🙂
  2. Daniel, my 'retirement-gift-to-me' Millie Y2K has some of your desired specs.
  3. I have 2 wah wah pedals. My favorite is a Crybaby Wah/Volume pedal. Very effective, especially for live playing. My second wah is an original late 60's Crybaby. It's in great shape, but more of a legacy piece that reminds me of what I used waaay back in the day.
  4. I agree that Milies (H155, Custom, Pro, Y2K, etc.) should be reintroduced by Heritage. It certainly would bring a more unique build concept to the market, and separate Heritage from a crowded field of solid/semi-hollow body guitar designs. At one time Heritage offered a Custom Millie as part of its bespoke program. https://heritageguitars.com/products/custom-shop-h-155m-electric-guitar-vintage-orange-translucent-ah16211 https://heritageguitars.com/products/custom-shop-h-155m-electric-guitar-silver-top-ah16208
  5. Jay Wolfe's shop advertised that they Plek'd each Heritage that came into their shop back in the day. Not sure if the variability of Heritage guitars from the factory prompted that move or not. I bought two Heritage guitars from him, one new (H555) and another used (H575) and both were set up perfectly.
  6. The only Heritage I had re-fretted was my H157. It was a custom order with several upgrades, but the tiny frets were my least favorite. I had it re-fretted by Gary Brawer, one of the best guitar techs in the SF Bay area. He followed my request for "no nibs". The end project came out fabulous! Each fret end has a rounded (hot dog) shape and the guitar plays superb. Not sure why more guitar builders don't offer this as an option.
  7. Tad, I am so happy for you!  (And only a little jealous).  I've been looking at SKB's for years, but above my budget.

    You are going to love that big girl.

    You have amassed some of the most beautiful and creative designs of Heritage guitars! I'm certain each of them comes with their own special stories from concept to execution. Fantastic!
  9. Hey Dan,

    Just a quick note.  Cool looking Harmony!  I had one like it back in the day, and still have two single pickup Stratotones. 

    Is this yours?

  10. Awesome collection, Jay! You need to have a calendar made of all of your exquisite custom Heritage's.
  11. Beautiful!!
  12. If you get a chance, we'd sure like to know the back story on your cool quilt/korina 150.
  13. Simply amazing!!
  14. What a great looking Custom Golden Eagle!
  15. Sure! I had it custom wired with 3 vol., 1 master tone, and pull up center p'up. Ren guided my guitar tech by phone to get it done right. Tons of tones!
  16. Close. It is 'Old Style Burst' (OSB). Classic brown outside with a touch of reddish-to-dark yellow center. The amazing quilt back looks a touch lighter and more on fire in sunlight. Best of all, it sounds amazing. Thanks for looking.
  17. 33% more mojo! :-)
  18. This thinline GE is one of my all time favorites here on the HOC. Beautiful instrument!
  19. Caption: "Hmmm...Now which of these fine Ladies will I dance with?"
  20. Amazing!

    H575 & H550

    Perspective. I was closer to the smaller 575 at the time of the photo which distorts the actual size difference.
  22. That top is a 10!! Congrats.
  23. This was a totally custom order by the original owner. (I'm #2). With so many custom options, there is no way to show them all on the Heritage site...unless they attached our gallery!
  24. Hi Breadfreak. It is Chestnut Burst. Thanks for your comment.
