Scatterbrain Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Well, got my first Heritage yesterday. Loving it so far...
yoslate Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Nice figure! Nice color! Congrats on landing a Custom Core! I will never be able to say enough about how much I dig mine. Pete and Edwin really nailed this instrument!

EDIT: Didn't want the AA but wanted a nice matching grain, oh well. Looks different based on lighting, sometimes Dirty Lemon sometimes like a light Iced Tea. Playing through a very clean Laney L5T-112 in the house, sans pedalboard for now. Haven't lit up the Super Reverb or the Super100JH yet. Neck and mid positions are gorgeous the bridge position is just a tad dark. I might fiddle with that, not sure yet.
kbp810 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Very nice, happy new guitar and first heritage day!

Scatterbrain Posted February 19, 2023 Author Posted February 19, 2023 Does Heritage do personal mods at the factory if I pay for it?
Scatterbrain Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 Return it or drop the money into modifying it??? Not sure at this point. Doesn't stay in tune for more than 15 minutes (new 18-1 locking tuners?), E and A strings buzz (can fix), pickups meh (can replace)?, random non realistic aging, wtf?. Plek'ed, really?? After less than a week? I am disappointed on the $5k investment

My luthier loves me because I keep him busy.

Depending where you live, if it was shipped the neck might take time to acclimatize
