Keep them coming. So far B......... vintage is the oldest. I'm wondering if there is an A............. out there?
Prototype maybe?

This has been for sale on Craigslist for a long time. I talked to him once and he wouldn't budge on the price.
He seemed more interested in trading for something not instrument related. Had a H-576 at one time also.

Gorgeous custom Heritages!!
How does one come up with a selling price on such unique, upgraded models?
Is it based mostly on the original build cost + profit or more what the market will bear?
My experience is Market. Usually not making a lot on them. Most don't appreciate or know what goes into these.

For those not familiar, Heritage made an artist model designed by David Paul. This is a H-550 that is 2" deep and has a Bigsby and full center block. Some were cherry but most were blue.
I got one a few months ago. Yesterday I pulled one of the pickups to make sure they were HRWs. I tried using a scope instead, but the center block wouldn't allow it.
The photo I include shows an HRW. It also shows creator Ren Wall's "floating 4 point mounts". These are small brass spacers that reduce the pickup bezel contact and, in theory, allow more frequencies to come forth through the pickup. I asked him long ago if they work. He smiled and said some people say they can hear the difference. On this guitar it is hard to imagine, but they made me smile.
My guitar is the final prototype. It doesn't have David Paul's signature on the headstock or pickguard.
Below is my favorite David Paul tune.

Here is his more typical style.

David quit playing years ago as far as I can tell. If anyone knows what happened to him, I'd like to know.
I found this. Guitarist's fingers singing again (heraldmailmedia.com)
