Guess which Heritage made this sound file!

[MartyGrass]

First, I did not do this recording. I could not play this well. I barely figured out how to post it from reverbnation.

 

To help you guess, the strings are Elixir Polyweb 10s.

 

Here's how to play the game. 1. Listen to the sound file. 2. Guess the guitar. It was made at Heritage.

 

The choices begin with hollow, semihollow or solid body. Tomorrow I'll give the right answer. Then we get into which model in the category.

 

Some of you will know which class of guitar it is right away. But can you tell the woods and the pickups? Hmmm.

I'd like to know which amp you are using and what the settings might be. Sounds fantastic!@

[smurph1]

Sounds Beautiful..I'm going out on limb and guessing a full Hollow model..Maybe HRW's?

[bolero]

based on the style & sound I'd guess 575....it does sound hollowbody

 

however there is a *lot* of slapback echo + reverb on there so it could be anything, even a solid body

[kbp810]

Well, based on the song file name... I would wager to say a Parson Street built D Angelico??? It's fits the hollowbody sound that seems to be hitting my ears.

Here's what the player wrote:

 

My project on this new CD was to play live, just guitar and bass, with no edits of any kind. We sat on 2 stools facing each other during the sessions, with two mikes facing in opposite directions. The the bass was fed directly into the board and the Roland 60 guitar amp was miked with a ribbon mike.

All 18 tracks were recorded in this manner. If we made one mistake, the entire take was erased, just like in the old days.

The track I sent you was an easy, kind of throw away, feel good piece. There are other, more intense tracks, but the entire CD has a good feel to it, thanks in part to the way it was mixed.

Sounds like Henry Johnson...using his Heritage archtop. PAF type pups...been listening to these a bit!! LOL

[skydog52]

Nice composition. I'm guessing a Hollowbody. Although I've heard that type of sound from many guitars.

[MartyGrass]

I'll go right to the full answer.

 

I didn't title this tune but did find "D'Angelico" misleading.

 

This guitar is exactly as it left the factory except the strings. It was run through a solid state, mass produced amp with no pedals using the neck pickup.

 

Frankly, I was surprised when I learned which guitar made this music. In retrospect I shouldn't be. This is a great sounding guitar that now resides in the Detroit area.

 

 

[Steiner]

That's a guitar I could grow to love!

[koula901]

damn! It sounds beautius! Who's playing it? Is it a 575?

[skydog52]

Looks familiar Damn it!

 

[MartyGrass]

H555 with HRWs.

 

Here's a sampling of the artist's works. His a big Heritage and Gretsch fan.

Did Rhoads end up with this one?

[MartyGrass]

Yes he did.

 

It now has push pull coil splits.

[RhoadsScholar]

Wow mark great find. I hope to do this guitar justice. Love the sound. Thanks for working with me on aquiring this. And skydog, I hear this is your creation. Well done.

I was going to be a contrarian and guess that it was done on an H-150. Not like Mr. Paul himself didn't do plenty of that stuff

I thought of that myself..But the tone was too airy..
