Howard Johnson with two sharp cutaways?

[unikh550]

Wonder if they'd do it, or, if not, if they'd do this same very long, unique cutaway, only double, on any of their other archtops? Would be sort of like a Gibson Barney Kessel, only larger, flatter cutaways. Wonder if having so much wood cut away would change the sound much? Wouldn't think so since we're talking about the top bout.

Only one way to find out. I guess two. haha. Call Heritage or Wolfe Guitars.

Probably not a Howard Johnson. Maybe a Howard Roberts though!

I assume you are talking about the Henry Johnson model: http://www.heritageg...nson_specs.html.

 

That double cutaway idea is interesting. As mentioned, the way to find out if it could happen is to submit a custom order to Heritage through your dealer of choice. Of course, as with any custom order, one would not know how it would sound until the instrument is paid for, shipped, and in your hands.
