I'll play...but I admit that I'm an offshoot of the Good Doctor, Mr. Grass... :)

 

 

 

 

One of the finest Heritage ever made.

They look like works of art.

 

I'd be afraid to take one out of its case if I had one :D

hmmm....observe the back Maple pattern on guitarbean's superb HJS.

 

Now, observe the Maple pattern used on a Heritage Super Eagle acoustic reportedly built from "premium woods." very Interesting...

Here are my Heritage Johnny Smith signature guitars.

The first one I bought new in the fall of 1990 (Johnny Smith Sunburst with a Rambo #1 pickup - G07502 - October 17th 1990, a Wednesday. It was the 2nd guitar built that day)
from Island Music in Island Lake, Illinois.
That sunburst guitar was one of 2 Johnny Smiths they had on the wall, unusual guitars for Island Lake (small town and expensive guitars).
The other Johnny Smith they had was in natural.

 

The second Johnny Smith I have was bought this year from a seller in Boston, Massachusetts (Johnny Smith Natural with a Rambo #2 pickup - G07706 - October 15th 1990, a Monday.
It was the 6th guitar built that day
). I am guessing that this guitar, in natural, was the same guitar that was next to my sunburst Johnny Smith at Island Music in 1990.

Thanks for asking.

It's your birthday; you should pick up the phone right now and buy yourself one!

:laughing7: I'll give Pressure or maybe MartyGrass a call and see if they wants to part with one of theirs. Looks like they have two many.
