brentrocks Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 This is a 1992 Heritage Academy Custom. The Academy is the single cut version of the Prospect. Its a little smaller than the H 535. This road warrior has seen some action. Its stamped a #2 from the factory. There is some nitro checking on the front and the back of the body. This Heritage features, arched laminate maple top and back, Schaller pickups, Schaller hardware, Grovers, rosewood board with MOP traps, matching maple pickguard, multi-ply body binding, bound headstock and bound neck. The Academy Standard would have had a dot neck, plastic pickguard, unbound headstock, chrome hardware and standard cream body binding. The Acdemy has a floating center block...which allows for more sound to vibrate through the body...gives it a little warmer, woodier tone. This particular Heritage sounds great with the Schaller pickups....warm, rich tone! Sounds great with some OD!!! The neck is pretty slim...60s style for sure. Frets have a little wear, not bad though. It weighs about 7.5 lbs.
Guest HRB853370 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Nice looking guitar. Will H make these on request?
Gitfiddler Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 That baby has been played...which means LOVED! That's what a good guitar is meant for. Nice score Mr. GAS-less. :-)
TalismanRich Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I LIKE that one! I guess I'm just a sucker for semis!
schundog Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I'm diggin' that thing, Brent, from the flame on the body, the trap inlays, the bound headstock, to the worn gold hardware! I think I'd actually rather have some worn gold hardware than the shiny new stuff. I love the tone of my Prospect, so I'll bet that thing gives up the good just as well. Bring on the clips, brother!
Billgelder Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Nice guitar Sir GAS-less. Were did you find this one?

Bring on the clips, brother! it really does have a sound all its own....its different from a 535
H Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Nice snatch Pretty guitar and all the better for catching the sun.
FredZepp Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Cool demo, Brent ! And the sustain after the 8:00 mark to the end was a blast. You got a lot of great tones from that Academy throughout the vid .....
Blunote Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Nice sounding guitar. Good grab. Schallars really don't get the respect they deserve, do they?
brentrocks Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 thanks guys....this is a great sounding guitar!!!
big bob Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 What's the difference between the academy and the Roy Clark model?
