brentrocks Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 This was the best trade i have ever made and it was a win-win for both parties involved! Katie was in the process of building this guitar for her husband Todd and i had lost intrest in the Heritage mandolin....Todd had been wanting a Heritage mando for quite some time, so he traded his H 525 to me for the mando. This 525 Eagle has some pretty cool features.... MOP EAGLE headstock Custom "fireburst" finish...one off color Rosewood board with blocks Locking Grovers Lollar P-90s I'll post some clips later....the neck is a medium beefy C, mahogany. Flamed front, back and rim.....the color is a hybrid of sunset burst and antique cherry burst.....Patrick did a wonderful job!
FredZepp Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Amazing...... !! FIREBURST Rules ..! That was a great grab, Brent. Truly a stunning 525. They should ship one of those to every dealer... it's just an awesome look.
big bob Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Kate does amazing work, but you know that. What a fabulous example.
skydog52 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Nice one Brently! I think a saw that when it was being built. I thought it would turn out a beauty. Double dibs if you ever do.

blueox Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Well done, for both parties! I couldn't imagine you with a mandolin!
brentrocks Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Well done, for both parties! I couldn't imagine you with a mandolin! Todd can really play that thing too!
kidsmoke Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 that is pretty much perfect. Can't think of a better vehicle for P-90's%3

DetroitBlues Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Wow, that is sharp. Congrats Brent. Sorry to see the Heritage mando to go... But there will be others I'm sure...
GASguy Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That 525 is Simply Stunning!!! The Fireburst finish is incredibly beautiful.
tulk1 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 You've got guitars. There are only a few of the mandolins. Oh well. At least Todd will play it. ... .... That is one beautiful Eaglet right there, Brently. You done good.
schundog Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That is either the #1 or #2 most beautiful 525 I've ever seen (Guitfiddler's is HARD to beat.) Yours, however, is very unique, as you pointed out. Fantastic trade, both ways it sounds like! Welcome back to the 525 club. Few of us EVER leave it, for good reason. They are one of Heritage's best kept secrets.

barrymclark Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That is a stunning finish, Brent! Killer guitar to boot!
SouthpawGuy Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Absolute top drawer Brent ! Katie really excelled on this one. ... oh and repeat after me .... " I will never sell this guitar. "
Gitfiddler Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Brent~ That is a fantastic looking 525!!!!!!!! I love everything about it...the new custom color (WOW!); the Eagle inlay (CLASSY!); the MOP fretboard inlays (COOL!) and the heavy duty, old school Bail Tailpiece (PERFECT!). Play it in good health...for a LONG time!
