Every time yuou post it, I want it more What a beauty!!!

I know we are supposed to be nice around here, but I feel this is truley the rant of a troll. This diatribe should have ended after sentence number five, right before where the second paragraph should have started. So in defense of Heritage, who I think has really stepped up their game, and is putting out some great guitars, I have something to say (In my best Utah Morman vernacular off course)... Fudge off Shizz head, get you own guitar company. With your new company, you can learn how to fix croooked archtop bridge posts and tuners. Then you can get back to playing your Heritages you love. Okay moderators. I probably deserve punishment for this post, but it was worth it. Gratuitous Heritage picture...

Even without jumping the channels the 5E3 volumes interact.

5E3 amps are great, one of my favorites, I've always liked the Fender tweed amps the best. When they grind they are glorious, But be aware for stage use they don't have a lot of clean headroom, and if your drummer is a hard hitter a 5E3 may not have enough clean tone on tap. Some samples of my Clark 5E3 from clean to dirty, the last sample I am using an Origin Effects Revival Drive...

the horror

Years ago, I played in a country band and we did a lot of winter gigs in Wyoming. We would do 2 nights at each bar, and we would leave our amps in the equipment van overnight. It would get cold as hell up there, sometimes below 0 with windchill. I didn't want to leave one of my expensive tube amps out in the cold, so I bought a Peavey Special 130 which was like a Bandit just more powerful. I paid a few hundred bucks for it used and it never falted once. When I quit that band, I gave it to a close friend who needed an amp. But while I had it, I was surprised how good that amp sounded! I had a simple pedal board that I made with a piece of scrap plywood painted black, that had a volume pedal, Rat distortion, Danelectro DanEcho Delay and a Boss tuner. That was all I needed to get the job done with that amp. Talk about a cheap rig! My guitar was an early seventies Les Paul Deluxe.

And they weighed a ton! My friend's 2x12 combo buckled my knees when I lifted it, I imagine the 4x10 combos weighed a bit too

I like the neck joint too, but I'm not groovin with the ash. It just looks out of place on that guitar.

When I saw him it was two Musicman amps. They were 4x10 combos. The Musicmans were loud too.

You know what, I never considered flats on a Fender style guitar, but more and more I heard how great they sound with Jaguars. I just happened to have a set of flatwound .010 light Thomastik JAZZ strings, so I put them on one of my two Jags. That way I could compare the flats directly with a set of roundwounds. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they sounded. I thought they would be too dull sounding for a solidbody, but instead they had a great round sounding high end. It was like I just slightly rolled off the high end to where I liked it. And they felt great too! Here's a demo from the day I put them on. Both guitar parts are the Jag with the flatwounds...

I like Seths they are consistently gread sounding pickup. When I was doing installs for people I installed alot of them and they always sounded great. That's really a beautiful guitar, some serious flame maple there!!! Millies like yours remind me of GIbson L5s guitars which are my favorite Gibsons. And yes, getting older does motivate you to get things done! Go out and rock that new guitar!

Those double white DiMarzios look much better than the zebras that were in there. But I would really like to see that guitar with some covers on the pickups. That’s just too upscale of a top. Also, some better reflector knobs the ones that really reflect. That top is worth it. It’s a great looking, Guitar. Glad to hear that. It sounds great too..

I think the raspy sounds like the amp/rig he's playing through, you can tell as he turns up the gain. In my opinion this demo is totally missing the great sonic aspects of this type of guitar.

sounds like connection to me

That is one great looking guitar. Congrats on your new guitar day. And how cool is it that you brought home the best of the lot, the one that you felt a connection with! Rock on!
