IIRC, that's a dark rosewood FB. It does look like ebony. Looks awesome DBlues!

Goofy commentator but fun video. Heritage tour begins at 2:30. https://utrmichigan.com/videos/#uael-video-gallery-cd7de52-8

I totally concur with Green Oak guitars. The proprietor is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Heritage and is great to buy from. Don't forget about Private Stock Guitars; the dealer where I purchased my most recent new Heritage; yet, another stellar dealer.

Beautiful guitar! Nice Snatch - congrats.

no.

'59 Caddys RULE!

The older book you saw was possibly Ashman Pitman's. There's a good one about amps by Dave Hunter. Gerald Webber has 3 or 4 out there primarily about Fender amp repair. You can get close to many boutique builders through forums and/or fakebook.

This is an interest here too. I'd enjoy hearing your take once you get into it.

Not anything organized after ~14-15yrs old. You? I took John E.'s class in college.

I took a Jazz guitar course from John E. some 40 years ago. To this day, I remember him instructing us to tell a story with leads. Give ups and downs along the way and finish with a big crescendo. I have absolutely NO idea why he passed me...

Looks dirty, dusty... Nice shootin' text

Congrats to heritage!

There's the right answer.

Gibbonss always have much work to do...

It's a good life! I'm waiting on DBlues' report on the gibbon vs Mojotones. I like what I'm reading. Congrats
