Yup, the one nice thing about the Schaller bridge is it’s adjustability.

IIRC- They’ve been doing long tenons since the early 2010s’.

Ha!!! Wow, now I know how to get big bucks for that old broken down Mazda sitting in my driveway! For Sale: Nicely “reliced” ‘07 Mazda 6. $3k obo

Phony relic jobs just don't look right on a Heritage guitar. That's just my opinion YMMV.

Super cool!

They all are good years. Individual examples will vary. Choose with you hands & ears, not by years.

Somewhat PRS-ish isn’t it?

I’m good with all but the Green & Blue ones. I especially like the Orange.

Oh well there ya go! Who the heck do you think you are coming on here and stating facts, and showing proof?! Are you trying to derail the Hater Express? For shame!!!

Oh, you boys are nasty! 😯

I never took issue with the original Heritage design, nor did I find it “ugly”. Doesn’t bother me at all that the new owner(s) changed the design for the Core series. AFAIC The “New” Heritage isn’t the same as the old Heritage anyway. Nowadays, they’re just another guitar company to me. No longer do I have any sense of an “emotional” connection to brand.

If it's only a lacquer crack, I wouldn't worry much about it.

I remember when I didn’t obsess over these types of issues (like the tailpiece being up high). My attitude used to be like the old “Record Rating” thing on American Bandstand. “It’s got a good beat, and I can dance to it” was good enough for me. Well, not anymore as I find the weirdest most seemingly unnoticeable to the untrained eye bugs me. Snd hell, I can’t play worth a sheet either!!!

I remember the earlier “H” guitars used the metric Schaller stuff, but went imperial with the switch to Tonepros. Just don’t know with the post TonePros hardware.
