If Heritage had time to make you one guitar before closing forever, what would it be?

[koula901]

In addition to my Eagle, a 357 - but that would never happen, because they don't make them in lefty. But . . a girl can dream, can't she?

[chico]

s 357 for sure. either dark burst like HFB's or the almond burst (like skydogs?)

[Tim]

H 150 "Florentine" (basically an H150 semi hollow body). That would be very cool.

[mark555]

An exact copy of Kuz's 535 in wineburst with black P90's, purely for it's beauty.

[heritagefan7]

flamed Red translucent 555

[bigsbytp]

An Antique Natural Super Eagle, PAFs, Black finger rest/pick guard, Gold Hardware with Grover imperial tuners, some antique looking tailpiece, maybe an "H" tail piece, split parallelogram markers, .................................................and my name on the truss rod cover.

 

Not that I have been thinking about it....

 

Alright, no rumors that they are closing , ok?

[smaj]

An trans orange 357 in birdseye maple body and neck. Alessandro electronics throughout ebony board with paralellogram inlays . Pups would be Fralin P90's vintage set. Gold hardware. This would work for me!

[skydog52]

Man I'd like every one that was suggested so far. Nice choices!

 

Super Eagle for me with as much bling as the people at Heritage would allow.

[killerblues]

I would hate to see heritage close. Such wonderful hand crafted guitars. I would order a custom 535 with the parallelogram double inlays, a vaitone with coil tapping, cherry finish, and seth lover pickups. Basically heritage's verion of a 345 gibson.

Kind of a morbid question isn't it?

 

Wtf

 

Anyway I think fred has us all beat, they already built it!!

Not at all. It's entirely hypothetical. Just trying to stimulate a conversation about everyone's dream guitars.

[smurph1]

Probably a Red 535 with a skinny neck..Or a TV Yellow 137 with Lollars..God I can't decide!!

[Billgelder]

I'm still thinking

[noonesperfect]

Either a 555 in Amber Burst or a Millie Ultra in Chestnut Burst (to go with my 535). Since the OP called for no custom work and I don't have enough enough experience to have a preference anyway, I'll take whatever they give me for pickups and neck carve.

Probably a H-530 with the neck profile of late 60's Gibson ES. That 1 9/16th-1 10/16th nut with thin profile. A type of neck that is great but nobody cares to embrace anymore!! I would use a Lollar low wind P-90 on the neck and a regular Lollar P-90 on the bridge. probably almond burst or the closest to tobacco sunburst!! Sexy!!

That looks great!!

[hotfordcoupe]

An almond sunburst Golden Eagle with a completely tap tuned top and back, my name engraved in the 12th fret inlay, the neck set up to the size of my hand, a 24.5 inch scale, floating DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1100 attached to the neck with a neck rod and an ebony pickguard Mine would have to be a completely custom built guitar because anything less wouldn't be special and will just be a factory standard guitar which I'll be able to find used.

[bluesgolfer]

What if you were told that Heritage was closing forever and that if you wanted one more guitar from them, you had to order it immediately. No custom orders. What would it be?

 

For me: A 555, because I love my Prospect and I'd want something a little bigger with a little more bling. I'd let them pick the colors.

 

The most expensive guitar they sell.

[RhoadsScholar]

An American Eagle finished in Blue.... I would be set. Always loved the bling on that one.

Um, that be the American Eagle. Sorry Rhodes, he 'dibbed' you! A blue American Eagle would certainly get attention!!!!!!!

[big bob]

I already have it!

[DavesNotHere]

The one Marv is working on right now. Well maybe not right now, I mean it's Friday night and Marv's probably not at the shop, but it's probably on his bench right now, so I guess the one he will be working on when he comes in on Monday.

[rooster]

Easy... White-and-tan H150M (my favorite Heritage is my black-and-tan H150 with a plain top, no flames--I ordered it specifically that way for the sound).
