  1. It is unnatural for any corporation to not seek to increase their revenue. Resting on their laurels, never an option. I /we should be happy 225 Parsons is still building great instruments. Affordable 137 and 150s to new players who might wish to trade up to a Kalamazoo, that's a good thing.
  2. Guess sneakers cost half of a H137.
  3. Here I was thinking Rem Wall playing jingle bells broke the internet.
  4. I thought that was Jenna Jamerson who said that?
  5. Gergo Concerning being OCD, me thinks you don't have all your badges yet. I have three Heritage gits with P90 and this is my take. Unlike with humbuckers p90 do not have rings to adjust pickup height, you have adjustable screws for each string that appear REAL close to the strings and therefore limit how much you can lower the action. This appears due to the top carve and set neck angle. My concerns (additional) would be the lack of clearance as the strings just clear the back of the bridge and thus you could not deck the tailpiece. The bridge has anchors that limit lower adjustment that can be removed and replace with screws. The saddles on the treble side can be filled down. The bottom of the bridge can be filed too. On my P90 gits having similar issues I replaced the stock hardware (I am MORE OCG) with Fabar AB-1 bridges that are more narrow and thus provide more clearance at the rear and have direct replacement screws without the anchors. As you love everything else, you may want to work on some fixes rather than exchange and hope the replacement is perfect. As these are mostly handmade, neck angle and top carve will differ. Good luck!
  6. Pretty I liked the "before" look and the cutaway completes it.
  7. Sounds like a dream came true to you!
  8. Gregg,

      Just cleaned and restrung my 575 from flat wound Ti Swings to round Ti BeBops 12.

    Pickups are ThroBak SLE 101MXV 

    Now I get the ghost hum/buzz only through the amp (changed cables/changed amps/change guitars) so it is only from this guitar. It's not a grounding issue or mechanical issue. Could be the same issue you had so I ask..

    If you had to do this over...  assume it is a potting issue... how would you proceed.

    Have not gone to my tech guy.

      Old Town is where Kip (Kidsmoke) and I met. He's the one who told me about Heritage Guitars. I've been taking classes there for years.
