Did we ever decide on and award a prize to #500...or is that still in committee? Seems some flattering pictures of Brent were among the offerings >

You've come to the right place, loaded six! Once your post is read by the regulars, you'll get an absolute earful, most of it objective, practical, and very enthusiastic regarding Heritage guitars. There's much to know about Parsons Street, a quirky place, peopled by some genuine characters, out of which come some of the most magical instruments you'll ever lay hands on! But you have to learn to navigate the HOC, e-Bay, craigslist, and a far-flung dealer network to scare up what you're looking for. But this is the place to start! Good luck! Might want to go back to the homepage and post in the "Heritage guitars" as a new thread for better response, though.

Welcome, bobpell! Italy, very cool! The string vibration, if I understand your description clearly, is feedback. This is common in semi-hollow and hollow body guitars. There is a lot of sound (air, of course) moving in and around a hollow body guitar, both from the amplifier and the guitar's vibrating strings. Often a string, open or fretted, will respond to that sound by vibrating sympathetically, in unison, with a note coming from the amp and the guitar. There are different ways to correct this. You might reduce the volume a bit; you could adjust the bass and treble controls on the amplifier; you could stand in a different location or turn slightly one way or the other relative to the amp; there are devices (even a simple inflated balloon) you can put into the guitar to reduce the air movement. You'll have to experiment to see what works for you. I'm sure some of the guys on the forum will have other suggestions. There are many knowledgeable, experienced players here. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Hello, Jerry, and welcome to the forum!!! Since you brought it up, I'll testify. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool P-90 fan! I have a Super Eagle with the Lollar P-90's in it, part of my custom spec for the guitar. Just a fabulous pickup!!! Enjoy the forum; there are many fine cats here and a wealth of knowledge and experience!

Welcome, bilbal! Gorgeous color on your 535! That's the way they should look...nice! 8)

Hey...just noticed! Congrats and welcome to Bobba2k, the 600th member. Guess Bobba's in line to get the same swag as the 500th member! Johnny, tell Bobba what he's won.... :wav:

Welcome Bubbah. Nice machines; my kind of stuff! They look like real players all!!! Nice Jerry Donahue lookin' Tele. Nice rug! ;D

Yes, that does indeed mean you're getting older. But the Gatton will keep you younger and certainly humble....:wink: Welcome to the HOC.

Hello, Greg, and welcome to the forum! Very, very nice 535! Beautiful color, figure in the wood not over the top, and a bound headstock..nice! Look forward to hearing from you.

I'm on vacation; what can I say?

Tom: Congrats on the purchase of the trans-black, and welcome! On a forum chock full of striking 150's, that's one of the most visually stunning pieces I've seen! What a find!

Boy, oh boy! Nice, nice plank! Congrats, and welcome to the forum.

Outta town yesterday, and I just caught up with this thread. Someone who works at Heritage! Fabulous! Now we have some actual credibility! Welcome, Katie. I hope you won't allow the faint odor of testosterone to prevent you from posting once in a while. Please let everyone at Parsons Street know how much their work means to us! We revere what you all so obviously put your hearts and souls into. Thanks! Yoslate

They all are, Jeph.... All of 'em! That's why we're here! Welcome! Looking forward to your posts.

Welcome to the HOC, Southpawl! Nice little autobio. The Eagle sounds fabulous! Congrats! :this_thread_is_useless_withou

Hey, not Dick. The H-160V photo is particularly pleasing, really a nice shot! It's the angle we have on any guitar we play, making the photo very intimate. I've a karma up for you for posting that one. Just a nice shot! Thanks! 8)

Good concept, 'fiddler! I'm Rob, in a parallel universe, "Yoslate" here. I have a custom spec 150, a modded 576, and I think I'm about two weeks from delivery of a custom spec'd Super Eagle. I've enjoyed the camaraderie, and vast expertise and experience on this forum immensely!! Some very fine cats in here!!
