jimsoloway Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 For those who missed it, Heritage is building me an H575 with a 25.5" scale length for the C# tuning I've been using recently. Here are some progress photos that just arrived this morning. This is now getting close enough to be incredibly exciting.
kidsmoke Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Dohh! Sorry, giving props to the wrong dude! She's a beaut, Jim, the wait has to be killing you, I'm sure it'll be worth it though.
jimsoloway Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Nice! What kind of PUP? DiMarzio 36th Anniversay PAF. Thanks to all for the encouragement. I think this is going to be a wonderful guitar. The folks at Heritage have been incredibly cooperative and I'm getting really excited now. I'm starting work on a new album next week so I won't have this for the first session but I should have it for the last couple and I'm hoping that I'll be able to use it for a bunch of tunes.
skydog52 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yessssssssssss! and Wowwwwwwwww! That is going to be a custom beauty. Can't wait for finished product and tone report. Congrats.
Blunote Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 It's great to see fine musicians ordering custom builds from the boys (and girl) at Parson Street. Best way to get an instrument worth keeping forever. Be sure to post pics and a sound clip of the finished product.
Keith7940236 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That is going to be a real beauty!! Didn't you just order it? Wow, that has to be a record!!
jimsoloway Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 That is going to be a real beauty!! Didn't you just order it? Wow, that has to be a record!! They actually started it a while before I made it official. I guess they had a lot of faith and I seem to have just caught a seam in their production schedule. And thanks for all the comments. I love this finish. It's always seemed to me to be the direct descendent of the finish on the backs of the Lloyd Loar mandolins. We tried to capture the essence of the Loar burst on a bunch of the guitars that we built but I don;t think we ever came quite as close as heritage does.
jimsoloway Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 3 weeks away? I was told three weeks today. They lost some time to the weather this week and some manpower to NAMM the week before. It's scheduled for buffing next week so if all goes well, the home stretch should be right around the corner.
schundog Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 What a beautiful guitar. I can understand why you are excited! Please give us some sound clips once you get it in your hands.
jimsoloway Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 My pleasure. I've actually postponed some sessions for my next album so that I an include this guitar on a bunch of tracks so there should be lots of recordings not long after it arrives.
jimsoloway Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 I just got the word ... IT'S DONE!!!!!! Shipping either tomorrow or Monday. And they sent some more photos. I'll get them posted this afternoon. This has been SO COOL!
