StevenTari Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Well after all the work gone into. Figuring what I wanted in a ES-339 sized guitar and not having the patience to get Gibson to do it for me. I will today receive my new guitar. Heritage was the closest company I could get to Gibson and I have no complaints.The guitar I picked out was their Millineum D.C.. Its a good ES-339 size and I liked the look. I asked if they would take pictures of the building and they took pictures of the build of the guitar and asked questions when they got to a part they had to talk to me about. Especially when it came to the pickups. I took the set up from a Zephyer Blues Deluxe. I bought my Zephyr when it was first out for 1400. Now their half that price, But I have a habit of messing with them to find out what they'll do and I was surprised at the tones I got from mixing the Pickup's. Then I came to find out the reason was because the center pickup was wound in reverse of the other two. So with that in mind and also putting in a switch to hold some of my favorite pickup mixs. I used that knowledge for my pickup setup. The color was to be like a graphite and oil mix. I looked at a lot of guitar colorings and liked the transblack that Heritage guitars had. I wanted all gold hardware but after seeing some other guitars that way, Kinda toned down on it. no gold knobs and the pickups were done in black, but the screws were changed to gold. With the smaller guitar I'm hoping to get the mellow sounds I'm hoping for. well I guess I'll find out in a couple hours.It's a one of a kind baby.
FredZepp Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 What a great NGD you will have. .... to anticipate holding that black trans custom in your hands finally. Cool Stuff.

Sounds great, but how do they deliver to a motor home? LOL! I chuckled when you said you didn't have the patience to have Gibson do it for you. Gibson wouldn't do it for you, period!! I think the closest thing to Heritage is Gibson instead of the other way around. LOL! Congratulations and enjoy your new custom guitar! Your making me want to play my 555 this morning.

Thats why I had to wait to get home. I had to drive in some of those high winds that blew the middle of the country away when I hit S.C.. Man what a tiring time trying to keep it on the road. Well I was told Gibson would build me one but it would take over a year and the price would have been a lot higher. Having Heritage build it for me it was about 3500. I can deal with that. I paid for what I wanted and Heritage was so professional about everything. Just waiting for the knock on the door.
FredZepp Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 . Just waiting for the knock on the door. ...Knock.. Knock.....
Gitfiddler Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Shhh...is that a brown truck coming up the street?!
tulk1 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Welcome to the Custom Millie DC club. They are quite the guitar. And our membership is quite eclectic.
Spectrum13 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I just saw the brown truck in Atlanta. Should take 8 hours to get to Portsmouth. Is this your first heritage?
DavesNotHere Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 "out for delivery" perhaps the sweetest words in the English language.
StevenTari Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 It's here my first Heritage ever. and It better then I hoped for.Getting a strap and cable now..
NoNameBand Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Heritage straps are hard to come by. Congratulations on your new guitar, the best ever.
Guest HRB853370 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Heritage straps are hard to come by. Congratulations on your new guitar, the best ever. There is one on ebay right now. But dont tell Big Bob.
