Oops I did it again

[TBurst Std]

Ive been splurging, and it needs to stop.  It just filled an itch or 2 I have had for a while.  A hollow body and P90s.

Tried a Casino back in 2012 as I recall. As much as I tried, I couldn’t bond with it. The tone was really good. The neck width, profile and neck join location combined I really couldn’t bond with. 

I want a true 1 11/16 wide neck, a thicker neck profile, and a more typical neck join location.

Enter a Heritage H-530. 

Been looking at them since before I lost my job in Nov 2016.  Well, a number of months ago one came up in a darker sunburst that just spoke to me.  After watching it all this time, chatted with the owner, made an offer and it was accepted.

I’ll post a pic tomorrow when I’m back at a computer.

Is it wrong that I’m drilling holes in it ASAP? It’s getting a Bigsby.

Oh and I need to hide this for a bit. Wife doesn’t know it’s been acquired. She said it looks nice, but it may be too soon for another purchase :tard:

Can’t imagine how that would sound through the Vibrolux. Tasty!

Good grief, it’s gorgeous!

The archetypal guitar as it existed in my 14-year-old mind was an archtop/hollowbody with either a trapeze bridge or a Bigsby.  To this day I've never owned one - so I see the appeal!

Heritage makes as fine a production guitar as one can hope to find...in my opinion, anyway. Enjoy it!!

It's beautiful.  Bigsby it!!

 

[TBurst Std]

Oh trust me.  It’s getting a proper Bigsby.  Probably also new tuners to reduce neck dive.  It’s a hollow body ala 330 / Casino and has those heavy Grover’s on it.  Will probably go Hipshot open gear locking with plastic keystone knobs.

the bigsby will help with neck dive as well...

You only live once and a lot of lame stuff happens. You should at least have all the guitars you want.

That's a beauty. Congrats and good luck on hiding it until the statute of limitations passes.  :laughing7:
