hubberjub Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I've been a Heritage owner for about 8 years and just found this page. My first Heritage is an Eagle Natural that I bought as a jazz major in college. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/hubberjub/Heritage/DSCN0223.jpg[/img] My newest was purchased about three years ago. It's a 1997 Heritage 535 in transparent black. It's a great guitar but it's begging for new pickups. I'm thinking about Duncan Phat Cats. Any opinions? http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd105/hubberjub/Heritage/DSCN0229.jpg[/img] I love both guitars though the Eagle doesn't get much use in the band I play in. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/thesecondclasscitizens.
SouthpawGuy Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Hi hubber and welcome to the HOC. Some nice Heritages you have there. You might want to ask big bob, he's around here somewhere :angel:, about the Duncan P-Rails. Plenty of tonal options with those pickups. I've been itching to try those in a Heritage for a while now.

P-rails are the tits man here is the tone report. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/i...pic,1524.0.html They are hard to install, but well worth it...
hubberjub Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Thanks for the info. I have seen those but hadn't heard much about them. I'll have to check them out. Thanks
Andy R Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Ah, Binghamton- I remember a really bizzare night at Country Bob's about 13 years ago- they had a had a girl with a tray like the cigarette girls of yesteryear, but it was condoms she was selling..I got to play the Country Bob trip;e neck guitar- amd when the keyboard player tpld the waitress to give me "Whatever I wanted", she stuck my face in her chest!
yoslate Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Nice boxes, hubber! Welcome to the HOC! Lots to do here. Enjoy! I have been an advocate of Phat Cats here for a while. I wish I could post some of the stuff I've done with them, but my "tech guy" has been unavailable.... I have them in both a 150 and a 576, which is a discontinued model, a bit like a deeper, single cut 535, laminated top, et.al. I love those p'ups! The neck is warm, the bridge bites nicely, together they have that classic "middle position" Gibson tone. There's just about nothing that guitar can't do; it's my #1 instrument, very versatile!
big bob Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 every thing in the tone report is true except ( the banana didn't stick to the wall)
High Flying Bird Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Hub, that one sweet looking Eagle. Welcome! My money says that the cat loves to sleep in your Heritage cases when you play.
