This is apparently part of the redesign being done under Bill Commins. Anyone else hear anything about this?
FredZepp Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Here is where we talked about it once before... Pretty cool... http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/i...;angelico's
SouthpawGuy Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 A shot from, I think PSP II, .... the Heritage prototype room http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/i...si&img=1054 Oh for half an hour in that room
Jazzpunk Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Here is where we talked about it once before... Pretty cool... http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/i...;angelico's The D'angelico reps seem to be stating that Heritage will not be involved in the carving. Sounds like it may be a different contract this time around (unless the reps are being less than forthcoming in the clip!). In any event, I think it is great that Heritage has an additional revenue source coming in! I think the association with D'angelico will be a positive thing for them.

"Bill will be carving the top and the back in our shop . Then we send the guitars to Heritage for assembly and finishing" It's nice to have some of the details of their arrangement.... very cool.

Anyone else hear anything about this? tulk1 . . . these 2 guitars are not part of Heritage's current collaboration with Bill comins and the current owners of the D'Angelico brand. These were made in the early '90s. There was a collaboration between Marty Turman and GHS (the string company) who owned the rights to the D'Angelico name. My New Yorker, purchased from Jay Wolfe from his personal collection, is featured on page 86 of the Frank Green book . . "D'Angelico, Master Guitar Builder, What's in a Name?" The serial number is 1027. Jim Triggs was also contracted to build a few, but couldn't keep up with production and wanted a fortune to do it. My D'A Excell is serial number 1020. They are two of the most meticulously crafted arch top guitars I have ever held in my hands. They remain the flag ship guitars in my collection. Each plays and sounds just as good as they look. But, then, that's to be expected . . . because they are Heritage Guitars.
