backline Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Unfortunately our printer and port for our digital camera is on the fritz, so I had to use my phone. How 'bout yours?
Gitfiddler Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 LARRY...MOE...CURLY! (Sweet 16...Golden Eagle...H-575) Each has a different bail tailpiece, Larry and Moe have Kent Armstrong p'ups, and Curly has two HRW's.
zookroo1 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 LARRY...MOE...CURLY! (Sweet 16...Golden Eagle...H-575) Each has a different bail tailpiece, Larry and Moe have Kent Armstrong p'ups, and Curly has two HRW's. That is an awesome collection! Each has its own distinct character.
JeffB Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 LARRY...MOE...CURLY! (Sweet 16...Golden Eagle...H-575) Each has a different bail tailpiece, Larry and Moe have Kent Armstrong p'ups, and Curly has two HRW's. Ouch!!! New screensaver. Nice stringed instruments you you have there.
Jazzpunk Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 LARRY...MOE...CURLY! (Sweet 16...Golden Eagle...H-575) All 3 of those guitars are awesome but man, oh man, that Golden Eagle is a knock out!
backline Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 All 3 of those guitars are awesome but man, oh man, that Golden Eagle is a knock out! Total agreement here! A Wes L-5 has nothing on that. Thanks for the new screen saver (too)!
SouthpawGuy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Are we including fully hollow arch tops only ? or do semis count ?
backline Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Are we including fully hollow arch tops only ? or do semis count ? Oh I didn't think of that. I was thinking "jazz" guitars, but even that's not a catagory since Tele's are use for jazz too. Post anything you want. A friend of mine plays as authentic jazz sounds as anyone could want on a H535. And of course all kinds of music gets played on "archtops" too, so I guess I didn't think too clearly or specific about it when I chose my original title. Anyhow, no need for exclusive. It's inclusive: post as you please: I've never been much for rules anyway. Not gonna start now!
Kuz Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Well.... The sweet 16 which is sold baring payment. And the Golden Eagle which needs to be sold but hasn't quite yet.
SouthpawGuy Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Well.... The sweet 16 which is sold baring payment. Sweet indeed ! Mind me asking if the new owner is a HOC member ?
Kuz Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Sweet indeed ! Mind me asking if the new owner is a HOC member ? Well he isn't the owner yet until he pays up! But he is a member but a lurker only to date (I believe that is correct).
SouthpawGuy Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Well he isn't the owner yet until he pays up! But he is a member but a lurker only to date (I believe that is correct). Well I sincerely hope that he "comes out" when he gets that beauty !
backline Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 That is one sweet Sweet 16. Envy envy covet covet! Thanks to all who have posted pics here so far. Now, where's 'em archtops that aren't fully hollow. Technically, 140's and 150's a kinda arched too. I really should think before I start posts...
High Flying Bird Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Holy Frijoles Bird! Thank you for that. That's Joe's 550.
Steiner Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 It's not the guitar, every Heritage I've seen is stunning in person. It's your ability to capture the beauty and essence! Those pictures immediately transform me into the room and presence of the guitar. I see that shot virtually every time I'm playing, it's what makes me want to hold the guitar. How you got that on film (media) amazes me. I want to own that guitar just so I can put that photo on the wall in the music room!!! Fantastic Porn - thank you for sharing!
SouthpawGuy Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Here's my Millie Standard Ultra. It's an arch top with f-holes ... I think the "Ultra" stands for ultra bling !
backline Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Bling looks good! Nice archtop! Tha's what I'm talkin' about! I could play jazz on dat (if I could play jazz more and dabble in it less).
bukmdano Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 This is the Custom H575 I ordered from Jay Wolfe. At the time (August of 2007) Heritage was temporarily closed and Mr. Wolfe wasn't able to book the order until they reopened which was around November 1, 2007. I got it back last October. So I waited about 11 months after Mr. Wolfe was able to book the order. It was worth it. It sounds great and it certainly doesn't fall down in the looks department. Photographs never do any of the guitars Heritage manufactures any real justice. Its got an ebony fretboard, Seth Lover pickups, spruce top and some really elegant Schaller gold tuners with ebony buttons. Unfortunately I don't have a shot of the headstock. The final touch was the two tone paint job. Antique Natural on the top and Burnt Amber on the rim and back. What do you think ladies and gents?

I like the contrasting colours, very classy indeed.
backline Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 ...What do you think ladies and gents? Frickin' BEAUTIMOUS! Seems photogenic to me. Thanks!
Steiner Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Wow bukmdano, Nice! I've been formulating a custom for some time without ever pulling the trigger. Yours is too close to my dream guitar, you were there first so it's back to the drawing board for me. The contrasting colors is icing on the cake. Congrats on your well thought out masterpiece, excellent photos. It's so nice to fall in love again. and again... Pete, Julie, Link! We're going to Hawaii!
