heritagefan7 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just the question--would H take a special order for an acoustic? There are lots of flat tops out there & I've been looking, but it would be SOOOOOOOO Awesome to have one w/ an H on the headstock!
Kuz Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Nope, not anymore. Just like no more banjos and no more mandolins. But hey, you could always call and beg.... but the answer will be "no".

Thundersteel Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Heck, I tried to order an H555 with either a spalted maple or koa top, and Marv said "no!" Good luck trying to get an out-of-production model made!

buzzy Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 You can order an archtop with no pickups and just f holes... This is how I was introduced to The Heritage. I wanted an arch top acoustic and I considered replacing the finger rest on an Eagle as a very good option. The project that required the guitar fell apart before I could save the cash, but I've kept the guitar that I bought as a placeholder - an early 60's Eko and not really comparable. But, my experience with the Eko, a cheap, bolt on neck, plywood top and 2 1/2 rim, leads me to believe that the Eagle would add a lot to a mix. In the context of ensemble, I think the contrasting voice (kind of alto/tenor) can alternatively project above or blend with flat tops. And you're never wrong buying another Heritage when you can. My $0.02.
Genericmusic Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I would seriously consider an acoustic archtop. No electronics would save you a bundle. You could even go with a Super Eagle. That would be nice and sound great.
Number8 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I have an Eagle with a floating pup for sale. This might meet your objectives. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/24346-fs-2007-eagle-2000/
