111518 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 There is no Spaniard in the works. And how did I get here? That was a kind of "Dorothy" move...! This thread is actually about a Heritage guitar (Thanks, Tim). "No Spaniard" ...me thinks this means no electric spanish, no "es" type guitar ... so a solid body. "Dorothy" move ...hummmm: over the rainbow .... triburst? Or could it be "ruby" --red, or cherry burst, or ... Just how fast does that sparrow fly? I suspect 150ish Like Golferwave, I wonder how Sir Slate won the fair lady's seal of approval?

Do you friggin work for CSI???
111518 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Do you friggin work for CSI??? I guess a little bit of my short-term memory has escaped my best efforts to destroy it. Rob just posted about questing after a custom order 150 the other day, as Golferwave pointed out. The sparrow-speed guess was reverse engineering.
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Don't be distracted by the "Dorothy" comment...I do believe that it related to the sudden ( we're not in Kansas anymore ) movement of this thread.. from the Heritage section and this should "really" help also... based on that study all lead me to estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an UNLADEN European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.
yoslate Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to turn this into a board game and sell it to Milton-Bradley. Didn't mean to go cryptic on everybody. But it's like blowing one's nose with a red hankie...in Pamplona. I toss out a little line to warm things up for a New Guitar Day (Thanks for The Hallmark Triplets, Brent!), just before I leave work. Come home, have dinner, and bang! Larry and Scott are on it...sort of, and thanks to the rest of you for playing. There's a handful here who know because I paid them consulting fees and hush money. But my recent quest took an abrupt turn, due to the considerable thoughtfulness of one of The HOC Brethren, and truly amazing timing. It's a typical HOC kind of story, which I'll relate, but not just now. I hope to take delivery some time next week. It's not a custom build. It's not even new. And many of you have already seen it.... Oh, yeah...it is a Heritage.
SouthpawGuy Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Must be one of Brents' ex-geetars. Like that narrows it down !
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 That makes it more difficult... Really .."no spaniard here" , that takes away my prime guesses. I will guess... a Millie...
golferwave Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Congrats on your new Heritage Rob. Can't wait to see the pics.
yoslate Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 Must be one of Brents' ex-geetars. Like that narrows it down ! LMAO! Sorry, Paul...it's one of the few Heritages floating around not previously owned by Mr. Henderson. I don't think he's ever owned one of these; There may be only three or four of this specific model owned by HOC members. It's a sub-species.... And thanks, Scott.
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 it's a .... Sweet 16... .................??? or has Brent had one of those?
Kuz Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 LMAO! Sorry, Paul...it's one of the few Heritages floating around not previously owned by Mr. Henderson. I don't think he's ever owned one of these; There may be only three or four of this specific model owned by HOC members. It's a sub-species.... And thanks, Scott. Ah, yes, the infamous CNC'd body, titanium Plek'd frets, whale penis bone nut, and robotic painted & bound body!!! Yes, that sums you up perfectly. (warning.... no hands touched this guitar during manufacturing) NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
High Flying Bird Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I don't have a clue but..... if it were me ordering a custom this week it would look a lot like Brent's new toy but chambered, 3 minis and......... wait for it...... Bigsby. That would be a slide guitar!
tulk1 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I know what it is. I know what it is!! Nana nana na na
brentrocks Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Oh, yeah...it is a Heritage. damm straight, and it a head turner!!!!
brentrocks Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 it's a .... Sweet 16... .................??? or has Brent had one of those? yeah right...like i could get around one of those with my gut....LMAO
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 yeah right...like i could get around one of those with my gut....LMAO You did have a hollow of some sort for a while though, right? My new guess is Rob has a ... "Groovemaster " on the the way...
SouthpawGuy Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 LMAO! Sorry, Paul...it's one of the few Heritages floating around not previously owned by Mr. Henderson. I This does not compute ... This does not compute ... This does not compute ... This does not compute ... This does not compute ...
SouthpawGuy Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 There may be only three or four of this specific model owned by HOC members. It's a sub-species. The "sub species " hint leads me to think of flora and fauna .... could it be a Johnny Smith "The Rose" ?
Mikenov Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I have no clue but I can't wait to see it. Lets get it done..
yoslate Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 ...but I can't wait to see it. Lets get it done.. Me, too, Mike! But it's out of my hands just now. And a little something for the detectives to be watching (sorry, Elvis): China....
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Me, too, Mike! But it's out of my hands just now. And a little something for the detectives to be watching (sorry, Elvis): China.... Scotty Moore played a Super 400 and an es 295 , if I remember correctly. so sorry elvis means not like these... umm , I think. China... What the...? any guesses on that one? A China inspired Heritage...
yoslate Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 China... What the...? any guesses on that one? A China inspired Heritage... More like Heritage inspired China....
FredZepp Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 More like Heritage inspired China.... a Heritage Wedgwood? the elusive Heritage Royal Doulton?
