brentrocks Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 The Heritage gods have rained on my once again (and a little help from a HOC member) Ever since THE BIRD first posted pics of his HFT 475...i have longed to feel one in my hands...that dream became a reality today. I would like to thank mefoolonhill for giving me the opprotunity to own this fine Heritage acoustic....its perfect! I'm not sure on the production #s on the HFT 475s....i'm sure its not much more than a dozen. This Heritage acoustic is a sweeping right turn from the HFT 445, but in a good way. The big difference i noticed right away was the ached/carved mahogony back...absolutley killer!!! Solid sitka spruse top, solid mahogony rim, mahogony neck (with a straight stinger ) Multi-ply binding on the body, bound rosewood board with MOP blocks, bound peghead and grovers. Its not nearly as bright as the HFT 445. Using a Red Bear pick on it, its very warm and dark at the same time. Using a standard Tortex pick, its brighter, more snappy. The neck is the typical Medium/Slim C. Perfect pitch...super low action! I'm off to the basement to polish the frets, lemon oil the fretboard (its a little dry), add a little shim to the saddle (its a little buzzy), and a new set of EXP strings! I'm totally geeked!!!!
FredZepp Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I'm totally geeked!!!! Geeked indeed ! A wonderful Heritage acoustic by all accounts. Enjoy those warm acoustic tones Brent .
tulk1 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Aw ... that's why you were wishin' for the UPS delivery dude!! Nice looking acoustic.
tsp17 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I want that guitar. i can't wait until you lose your senses someday and put it on the market. Seriously Brent, that is awesome. really truly awesome. if you ever see another for sale, please let me know.
High Flying Bird Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Brother! I was told they only made 5 or 6 of these.
brentrocks Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 NO KIDDING???? Brother! I was told they only made 5 or 6 of these.
schundog Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 What an incredible guitar! Congratulations, man.
Genericmusic Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 ... i can't wait until you lose your senses someday and put it on the market. I think we should begin a lottery for the one that get the first dibs.
tsp17 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I think we should begin a lottery for the one that get the first dibs. Already called it!
skydog52 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 You better hold on to that one brother! Just a beautiful specimen.
High Flying Bird Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I think we should begin a lottery for the one that get the first dibs. Already called it! Now that this is settled.... for a mere 2K you can own mine. A buddy asked a man how much he wanted for a used rifle. He said, "We like to get $650.00 for these..." My buddy said, "Hell, I like to get - better stop here before I get new warning points.

I'll tell my wife we need to start cutting back on some things... BTW- what is the scale on these? If it is 24.75 or 25 I am in trouble. 25.5 and I am saved.
