Steiner Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 I thought about buying that one and changing it to The Loop (Chi-Town), WDIZ (Orlando), or either WRIF / WLLZ (Detroit). It reminds me of L. Paul's log. Back to basics.

davesultra Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 yeah I have that gtr on my mind as well...who makes good "staple slug" P90's? I see that you can get them through the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop.
tsp17 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 fleur de lis fret marker inlays on an ebony board. i love this idea!!!
HANGAR18 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I'd love to someday have heritage build vintage fifties spec byrdland so I can do my best hank garland impersonation! Now we're talkin'!

kidsmoke Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Yep. That's Ray. That's the guitar we had a long GAS inducing conversation about at PSP. He's loving how it came out and couldn't contain his glee. I think that would be an excellent addition to the lineup.
Ned Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 The fantasy is time and talent. I seem to have my choice of Heritages all ready. (hey Kidsmoke, I had the pleasure of seeing/hearing Wilco last night, simply excellent, Tweedy did reach for a vintage Trini Lopez with a bigsby, that would be a nice Parson's build).

skydog52 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Prospect. No f holes. Vintage Wineburst. Bigsby with gold hardware. Ebony board with special inlays. Multiple bound white binding. MOP headstock inlay. 5 piece neck natural shade. Stinger. I think that's it. Found out recently the Prospect and Academy model where named after streets in Kalamazoo.
lb61906 Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Mine would be................ Heritage Super Eagle - Burnt Amber Finish - Dual HRW pickups - Chrome hardware - Heritage "H" Tailpiece - Mandolin Headstock Killer Jazz box!!!!!

Anyone know? We talked about it for quite a while, and he said it's a Golden Eagle with a short board, which would mean ALL solid, Spruce top, maple back and sides, 3" rim, and hollow. I didn't press regarding other possible alterations.

DetroitBlues Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I think mine would be really simple. Ever since I saw that Millie at the Factory, I finally found a Heritage that is calling to me... A couple minor changes, but that was it... Basically no F holes and perhaps a bigsby.... Couldn't ask for more, except a thick 50's neck...
kidsmoke Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 see if you can get one on extended loan to try out for a few weeks....that's my only suggestion.... nice choice. Skydogs guitar put me in a similar mindset. Sounds like exactly what you're talking about.
DetroitBlues Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 By the way, the color is orange...not amber...
