barrymclark Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Anyone know what years Heritage did the ghost building for D'Angelico? I know it was the mid 90's.
Kuz Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I think they built 12 in the early 90s. Yea, I have been working on (begging actually) Marv to sell me & finish the New Yorker in the prototype room..... It's kind of like Kenny's (Tulk1) Heritage banjo quest..... neither are ever gonna happen!!

FredZepp Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 And at the factory tour in 2013, there was a 535 type D'Angelico in the finish room. Jim Deurloo said it was a prototype..

So I've heard! In my case, though, I am looking at my options for a 1996 year model. I have a Heritage from 1994 and 2009 which each coincides with my first daughter and only son respectively. I need another one for my second daughter's birth year. I'd REALLY dig on either a 1996 Super Eagle or 550. I'd still entertain a Guild or Gretch Country Club from the year. The 6196-1955 in particular!
barrymclark Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 You need a Centurion.. ! Ha... Yeah right. Know of one for sale. Hahahahaba
barrymclark Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Is that the semi-hollow D'A prototype I have been hearing about?
FredZepp Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Is that the semi-hollow D'A prototype I have been hearing about? I'm not sure if that is the same one.. I captured it on video at PSP.. it appears at the end of this video.. just after the 8 minute mark I had asked Jim about D"Angelico models just after arriving at the plant and he told me about this prototype upstairs , so I was on the lookout for it.
DC Ron Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I like the Johnny Smith The Rose headstock with hangtag...what's THAT about?
