Thanks guys. I have 3 heritage guitars now:

 

  • Heritage Golden Eagle (2 set in pickups)
  • Heritage Golden Eagle thinline (Like L5 CT)
  • Heritage H550

 

Very nice playing Jack, and btw, that gorgeous 550 looks vaguely familiar to me!!

 

What are you running it through if I may ask?

in this case, I'm running it through a Gries 35 amp which is a 112 version of a vibrolux reverb amp.

 

This recording isn't the best but I think it sounds best through this amp. I also have a henriksen 112 and a markbass/raezer's edge setup but the tube amp really gets the most bensonesque sound. The recording came out mushy though. I'll do one later with a better mic.

Very nice technique. Well articulated. Beautiful scalar and modal transitions. Wow!

 

The H550 is fine, but you'd make any instrument sound great. I quit.

Nice starter threesome! and thanks for posting the porn.

 

 

What pickups are in them?

 

 

How do you like the ebony tailpiece vs the brass ones?

 

 

 

Had to ask....

I know you didn't ask me, but I'll put my two cents in anyway.

 

Here's the tailpiece on my Golden Eagle. I like it because it is easy to change the strings with, hides fingerprints, and looks good. I can't say it does anything for tone.

Here's the tailpiece on my Thornton. It is fixed to the top. It has the same merits mentioned above. I don't know about the tone effect. This guitar has a spruce top, and that makes a big difference.

The ebony tailpiece is actually brass with ebony facing. No diff in tone. I got it because the strings slip out of the regular tailpiece very easily. I may replace the tailpieces on the other two as well. On the blonde one, I think an ebony pickguard would look sharp on it!

Now THAT is how a 550 is supposed to sound!! Great playing...very much like early Benson-meets Martino riffs.

 

Welcome to the HOC!

 

I'm sure you will have some valuable contributions.
