skydog52 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 All these are ready for final setup. Love seeing racks of guitar! Can you spot your next one?
FredZepp Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Yeah... great pic. So happy to see them making some really sweet instruments at Parsons Street.
Doug Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Interesting how half those guitars say The Heritage on the headstock and the others just say Heritage. I thought all new models had ditched the The.

Dick Seacup Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 None of them resemble a 1954 LPC with staple P90, in black, multi-ply bound, with nickel hardware and a ToneSucker. Alas, no, I don't see my next one.

Dick Seacup Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 That's the other Black Beauty! Quite a beast, but I have a thing for the original. What is that amp? Love the jacket, btw; stylish!

Alas, no, I don't see my next one. Wish I'd known, Dixie! Got rid of a Gibsom Custom Shop Robbie Krieger about two months ago. I replaced Krieger's neck mini-bucker with a Lollar staple, a la '54. Eight pounds, four onces. Used it a lot live in The Sedans' waning days, and on the last studio disc. As good a guitar as I've owned! Letting that one go definitively announced that the downsizing was on.... Here it is, on the right channel, solo's all neck p'up:
Dick Seacup Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 That was tasty, @yoslate. Thanks for sharing!

Love the jacket, btw; stylish! The amp is a Selmer amp.. the shop was also called Selmer and they just asked him to take a photo with it. Supposedly a good Selmer amp is a cross between a JTM45 and a Vox amp and has a nice overdrive. And , dig this, the jacket was from Carnaby Street clothes from the first shop called John Stephen according to Jimmy.
FredZepp Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 YoSlate , you always manage to create those tasty tones ... nice to re-visit.
DetroitBlues Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Heritage has been doing really well. Distribution is up, sales orders are up. They are busy for sure. Which is a good thing. Even the expensive Custom Core line is selling as people love what they are seeing. I'm really happy for the factory and the future of Heritage. I think we can see them around for the next generation or more guitarists looking for something special.

MartyGrass Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Yep. Despite this photo he used a Tele for the Led Zepplin first album. I had always assumed it was a ballsy LP. .......................................................................................................................................................................................... For the recordings Page played a psychedelically painted Fender Telecaster – a gift from friend Jeff Beck after Page recommended him to join the Yardbirds in 1965, replacing Eric Clapton on lead guitar. Page played the Telecaster through a Supro amplifier, and used a Gibbons J-200 for the album's acoustic tracks. For "Your Time Is Gonna Come" he used a Fender 10-string pedal steel guitar.
bolero Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I thought Page used a Harmony acoustic ( sovereign? ) on the 1st album? And some of the 2nd Those croc skin Selmers are cool!!

And some of the 2nd Those croc skin Selmers are cool!! Jimmy borrowed the J-200 from Mickie Most for a few tunes, he really liked that guitar. But the Sovereign was his .. the tunes were written on the Sovereign, it was used at the shows and it's big claim to fame is that it's the Stairway to Heaven guitar. He used it on recordings on Zep III and Zep IV. The Les Paul Custom was Jimmy's guitar on a lot of his early session work and for live shows to some degree. It's the Whole Lotta Love guitar. Interesting, while the Telecaster was Jimmy's main electric on Zep I, he did borrow another electric for one tune.... an original Flying V. He said it was a real beast of a guitar and used it on You Shook Me . It's fun to picture Jimmy rocking a Flying V when you listen to that tune. It is a powerful guitar on that tune.

Dale, my amp guru, had used the vintage iron and some of the guts from a mid-fifties Bogen P.A. head to build a clone of a Fender 5E8a circuit, the low-power Tweed Twin. That was into a 1x12 Dumble-type cabinet, with a Jensen Blackbird Jet. Pedals were a TS808 and a Wampler Euphoria. It was kinda turned up....
