Is it a Cheritage?!

Looks like all ended well! Nice PRS.

Hmmm.... Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Not enough there for me to make a decision.

Ordered my copy of “Fourth Gear” earlier today.

Never cared for top wrapping.

For years I played Gibby style guitars, and am sure many of them had tailpieces that sat up high. Odd thing was, I never really noticed nor cared. It played well and sounded good, that’s all I cared about. It wasn’t until the age of the guitar forums, that these things, and all other forms of “corksniffery” changed the way I view guitars. Not sure if it’s for better or worse.

Nice to see it’s found it’s way back home. I can attest to the “niceness” of that particular Millie, seeing as I owned that one once. Congrats, don’t let it get away again!!!

I've had a few Heritage & Gibson guitars with the neck angle set in a little off, which made the stopbar sit up higher. It's actually fairly common to find, and setup properly it still can be a great player. It doesn't necessarily mean it's "wrong", but it certainly isn't preferred.

I have had the same experience.

Das 'Hoff!!!

Attempting to (kind of) re-invent a brand name that had received very little interest over its first 30 years. I believe that’ll be very difficult, especially given the fact that they’re competing in a very crowded market. Good luck to the new owners.

I think now would be a great time for them to introduce a “V” or Explorer type. If they really want to tout that they’re the Vanguards of the 225 Parsons Street tradition, that could go a long way from a legitimacy standpoint (IMO). I can honestly say that I would have some interest in one too seeing as Hamer isn’t around anymore.

To paraphrase Sir Denis Eton-Hogg." I don't believe they're becoming less popular. I think that it's just that their appeal is becoming more selective."

You mean the factory direct custom shop right?

Wow, look at all those options, even several hollow & semi-hollow options too! Man, those were the days. All hail Meng and his glorious new regime! Thanks for posting this, it's a nice trip down memory lane.
