dvnmjc Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 I just bought at special Heritage Johnny Smith Rose. Was made for Jay Wolfe as his personal guitar and has rose inlay on pickguard. This guitar is warm and resonate for sure a beauty. This my 3rd carved top Heritage I have another Sunburst Johnny Smith and a Ghost build D'angelico New Yorker. These guitars stack up with the best or sure. A real American Treasure they are way underappreciated and valued.
tsp17 Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 Wonderful! I’ve always wanted one of these. Congratulations
skydog52 Posted June 21, 2024 Posted June 21, 2024 Congratulations! I've been lusting after that one for awhile.
dvnmjc Posted June 22, 2024 Author Posted June 22, 2024 This guitar plays wunderful smooth easy neck. I repair guitars and use to work with the late Bill Hollenbeck of the blue guitars builder and was around Bill Barker. The set up is perfect I did not need to do a thing. The sound reminds me of my 1971 Barker guitar and that is a surprise Barker my is a great guitar.
Kuz Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 The Heritage Johnny Smith guitars are functional works of art. My favorite Heritage JS guitars are the "rose" colored ones (or as the owners named it "P**** Pink"). Anyone own a Rose JS that could post some pictures?
LonelyLefty Posted June 24, 2024 Posted June 24, 2024 You have to love how Heritage uses Maple. So lovely.
