Frankie Ballard loves his Heritage

[Doug]

Big surprise, I guess.

Must be his favourite. I see him playing that one most times.

Love your music blog!

I always wondered why Gibson, as big as they are... who have a lifestyle section of their online store. They don't​ even try to sell a belt buckle that won't do that.

Yup. That's mahogany.

 

And I fret over dings and checking?

That's what the back of a guitar is supposed to look like.

There was an old YouTube Video of all his guitars (which I'm sure he has many, many more). But his 157 has been is hallmark guitar. I"m sure he is a guitar geek like all of us and very proud of himself for wearing into that guitar just like the heroes of yesterday.

 

I particularly love the pin-striping he has on the front. Sort of Billy Gibbons style.

 

I'm very surprised that Frankie being the arguably biggest music star Heritage has right now, there isn't a signature model.

 

A H-157 with custom pin-striping top. The rest is pretty much stock Heritage. (I know he's swapped pickups several times over, I saw a few videos/pics of him doing that himself before)

I agree. Heritage should create a Frankie Ballard Signature H157 model...like yesterday.

I like this one Frankie did where he talks about his first experience playing a Heritage.
