Heritage doesn't throw out parts

[MartyGrass]

I've noticed that Heritage put some of it's limited series parts on its mainstream archtops.  Here are examples.

The D'Angelico MOP block bridge inlays appeared on the Golden Eagle.  I hadn't seen that before, but it works.  Their Gretsch ebony bridge showed up on another Golden Eagle.  That's stranger.

There's nothing wrong with that.  It provides a window into the practical and frugal thinking of the original owners.  I like it.

Their original practice was that the factory reserved the right to use substitute parts, even stated on catalogs
