Rarity of Heritage Acoustic

I'd love to know how many Heritage Flatops were made and for how long. Basically I'm hoping the odds of me owning a Heritage acoustic flatop might be possible. Another question, did they make an archtop acoustic?

someone here said the acoustic bodies were made by Larrivee, necks in kalamazoo

 

I have 2 Larrivee acoustics, and they are fantastic handmade guitars....I kept my L9 6-string over a Gibson J200 & a Martin D18

That would be me and Big John Kuz, as told to us at PSPIII. And yeah baby! I'm a big fan of Larrivee guitars. :icon_thumright:

Big Bob has a Heritage archtop acoustic. I'm pretty sure it was a custom order though.

Their picture is kinda blurry, but sure enough, a Heritage acoustic. If it's in good condition, not a bad price.

That does indeed seem like a good price... they reference a repaired crack in the top though, I wish they had posted a decent picture showing the repair.

I'm a longtime Larrivee owner, you should know you can find Larri's at good prices pretty easily. They don't tell much about the way the guitar is appointed, but a shop near me(Chicagoland) has solid sitka/mahogany Larrivees for less than 900 every day. Certainly, there is the Heritage neck/headstock, which is unique, and from a collector standpoint, the situation changes,but I thought you should know that even at that price, wonderful "non-cracked" Larri's are out there.
