NePlusUltra Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Just got off of the phone with the boys at Parsons St. We’re building something that they’ve never done before and we’re excited about it.
pressure Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 You'll have a Fab time building a guitar with Heritage.
Gitfiddler Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Enjoy the excitement of your custom build! I know I did. It was almost like expecting a child...but without the messy diapers.

NePlusUltra Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 Notice it is a single Venetian cutaway 555.
Gitfiddler Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Single F-hole? This is going to be a very unique 555.

NePlusUltra Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 It’s basically not a 555, but we’re using that as the base. it’s also a singe cutaway as well.

It’s a Venetian cutaway which is a soft one. You have a double cut Florentine up here. it’s also a single cutaway. so more like a semi hollow L-5 sized more like a 555.

skydog52 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Similar to my H-537? I really like the specs on this one. Have you decided on pickups?
Spectrum13 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 If it were me, I would ask for the larger headstock like on the Roy.

Also, it’ll be a semi hollow with a block. The Roy Clark inspired my build, but I wanted something not quite so ‘offset’ looking.
DetroitBlues Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing your creation.

You can't have messy diapers "while" you are expecting a child...unless of course you are wetting your own diaper in anticipation!!!

Thanks for that image Will. We need someone to kill the excitement of guitar porn.
Gitfiddler Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 @ElNumero: Will, Will, Will...since you need a bit more specificity, let's just say that I was so excited to receive my custom Heritage, I almost had an accident. Fortunately, no babies or soiled diapers were involved. @NePlusUltra: Please excuse the latest hijack of your custom Heritage build thread. Some old folks hang around the HOC trying to cause trouble since they are bored and have the day off from 'the gate'.

brentrocks Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I’m sure it’s gonna be beautiful but all I can see is $$$$$$. I’m sure I don’t want to know how much they’re charging you for that. I hope it turns out like you want!!!
kbp810 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Looking forward to seeing how the vision turn out. Expecting a pic heavy update sometime in the future.
