DerekR Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Newbie here guys. Back in the late 80's I bought a Heritage 445 acoustic in Antique Sunburst. I didn't know much about it at the time, but I knew I liked the way it played and sounded. Mine is a daily player and the sound seems to get sweeter with time. I don't think I have ever seen another Heritage 445 in ASB. Any ideas on the numbers made of these in this color? Thanks Lads...........
fxdx99 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Ah, come on Derek! With a teaser post like that you've GOTTA post some pics, man! (I've no idea how many, but someone will weigh in that might have an estimate).
High Flying Bird Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 .............. you've GOTTA post some pics, man! No joke! Stop holding out on us. I have never seen a 445 that color. All of them have been natural. I have a 475 in Almond burst.
DerekR Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 Ahhh....so the ASB is Almond Sunburst and not Antique Sunburst. Sounds good to me! I'll try to get a pic loaded up tomorrow. Derek
FredZepp Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Ahhh....so the ASB is Almond Sunburst and not Antique Sunburst. Sounds good to me! I'll try to get a pic loaded up tomorrow. Derek Welcome Derek... Can't wait to see your pic... a sweet and rare instrument you choose in the late 80's. as for the finishes... ASB= Antique Sunburst ALSB= Almond Sunburst
High Flying Bird Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Ahhh....so the ASB is Almond Sunburst and not Antique Sunburst. Sounds good to me! I'll try to get a pic loaded up tomorrow. Didn't notice you hailed out of Nashvegas. I am two hours down I65 from you in Huntsville. I hope you made it through the flood OK. The one on the right is a looker, huh?
DerekR Posted July 8, 2010 Author Posted July 8, 2010 Well .....here's some pics folks. Pardon my poor picture taking! I snapped a few quick ones before I left the house this morning. Getting it out in the sunlight made me realize how badly it needs a good cleaning/polish! This has been my only acoustic for 20 years now and she gets played daily. The label reads: HET 445 ASB Thanks! Derek

The one on the right is a looker, huh? I'm really getting jealous of the great photos you guys are able to post. I gotta learn how to do that!! That's a real pretty line up you have there Bird. I am particularly smitten by the one in the middle.
FredZepp Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 That is a great looking sunburst top on that , DerekR. These are known for their balanced sound.. and that sunburst makes it even sweeter...!!
