rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I went to the shop last thursday to get some photo's of the finish I picked and I have to say I love it. I am totally geeked about the finish and the lacquer hasn't even been put on it yet. This is my very first build and first ever Heritage. I received a lot of help and info from everyone on this forum. Also a special thanks to Brentrocks and and NoSnowBlower. Should be completely done in 4-6 weeks I am told. Cant wait!
bsck1 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Wow, that is one great look. Congratulations on a fine first Heritage. You are going to love it!
Gitfiddler Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 NICE!! The wide flames and burst make that top appear to be on fire! Well done.
rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Here is a photo Ren sent me. I tell you though these pictures don't do it justice.
HANGAR18 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 What is the actual color designation of that spray job?
tulk1 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Another 4 - 6 weeks? YIkes!! I'd be all about "I want it now!!" if I got pictures like that. When that gets buffed, it's going to be gorgeous.
rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 What is the actual color designation of that spray job? It is a VSB with some tweaks. I have been working with the guys in finishing and Marv for a few weeks and this is what we came up with.

HANGAR18 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 It is a VSB with some tweaks. I have been working with the guys in finishing and Marv for a few weeks and this is what we came up with. What colors did you tweak it with? A little orange or something?
Spectrum13 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 VSB Very Special Build... looking good to me. What pups?
rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 VSB Very Special Build... looking good to me. What pups? I have a set of gold HRW and nickel Duncan JB bridge and 59 neck. I cant decide. I have the HRW up for sale in the sale section that nobody seems to want. Prob duncans though.
rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 What colors did you tweak it with? A little orange or something? Red.
HANGAR18 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 It looks really great so that is why I was trying to figure out the recipe.
ScottNaylor Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 The wood on that top almost doesn't look real! I over-use the word beautiful all the time, but it applies completely to that maple. Great job complementing that with the finish choices.
DetroitBlues Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Excellent! Congrats on the new build, hope to see it a PSP.
rstein Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Excellent! Congrats on the new build, hope to see it a PSP. I wont be there I will be in Tokyo and the guitar should be done by then. I really wanted to go though.
DetroitBlues Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I wont be there I will be in Tokyo and the guitar should be done by then. I really wanted to go though. Such a shame. Still congrats... As to HRW's, I think they are exceptional pickups, but also with Heritage now using Seymour Duncans, there are many options to better suite individual's custom orders. I think the only reason for buying HRW's now is for the nostalgia of something handcrafted at Heritage by Ren. You cannot go wrong using them, but its all about personal choice.
DavesNotHere Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Oh that is just beautiful! What is the official name for the finish?
rstein Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 Oh that is just beautiful! What is the official name for the finish? VSB with some of my own tweaks. There really isn't any official name for it.
