2bornot2bop Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Mahogany Eagle arrives. Very warm sounding acoustically, and the Heritage #3 sounds every bit as decent as the one on the GE. I rolled the dice on this one blind..so far so good.
Ned Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I'll be surprised if a prettier picture is posted today. I'd be most interested in a spruce vs. mahogany tone report. Good score.
DetroitBlues Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 So a Blonde and Brunette walk into a bar.... (insert next sentence and punchline here)
Steiner Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I'd love to hear the difference between the two tops too. Sweet looking guitar. Congrats.
DetroitBlues Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Seriously though, that is a nice pair....of guitars... oh, geez... too many puns....
tulk1 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Going by my experience with other hog top guitars, this should be very warm, as opposed to spruce. And especially compared to maple. That is one classy looking guitar!
Keith7940236 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 That is definately on my bucket list. Love the warmth of the mahogany. Beautiful guitar, congratulations!
hotfordcoupe Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 That's beautiful. I was hoping to see this guitar here. Congrats and enjoy.
2bornot2bop Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks to all for the well wishes! Acquiring her out of curiosity more than anything first impressions are there's something to this mahogany thing that's well, warm and inviting.
Genericmusic Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 ...there's something to this mahogany thing that's well, warm and inviting.
barrymclark Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Saw this in jazz forum. Just effin beautiful. MAN I dig this. You have a serious beauty here man. I LOVE it. Love how dressed down it is... yet how elegant it is. Please say you are doing a demo video or something. I'd really love to hear it's mahogany goodness.
FredZepp Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Now THAT is a beauty ! Both instruments are sweet, but I do love the look of that mahogany ..... it makes for a fine sounding guitar, I'm sure.
bobmeyrick Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Love how dressed down it is... yet how elegant it is. Absolutely!
Gitfiddler Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Man, that Mahogany Eagle has old school class! That is as close to a Heritage acoustic as you can get these days. The warmth of the Mahogany should allow you to experiment with roundwounds for more volume than flatwounds. I'd recommend LaBella HRS Series nickle plated 12-52's if interested in something fat yet with subtle acoustic/electric overtones. Also, from your close-up photo, it looks like the top has subtle scratches in it. If so you might try some Virtuosso Cleaner to get them out. Follow up with their Polish and stand back! It is sold at most Guitar Centers.

Hfan Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 nice pair there, congrats. Would love an Eagle one day. +1 on the Virtuoso, good stuff.

tsp17 Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I love that mahogany eagle. It must be wonderfully warm and lucious to play. Great acquisition! Play it in great health and enjoy.
koula901 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Congrats on such an elegant looking guitar. I'd love to hear it, too.
