I'm new here. Here's my story: When I was twelve I started on a cheapo beater nylon-string guitar playing Woody Guthrie tunes, then got a Silvertone guitar and amp and started a band with two friends (two guitars/drums). Both guitars and one mic went through my Silvertone Model 1485 amp (two channels, reverb/tremolo, six 10" Jensens; I still have it). We did Stones, Beatles, Animals, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Ventures. That band lasted two years and after that I played very little guitar, except acoustic alone, for decades. I sold my Silvertone. Then in 1990 I was getting divorced and felt like getting an electric again, but had little money. I looked around and found a dinged up Heritage solid body. I liked the neck and the tone and it was only $120, so I bought it (photos are below, unless I've made some mistakes trying to add photos to this post). Few would say it's beautiful, but it was the axe for me. I hadn't heard of Heritage -- the store owner told me the Kalamazoo story.
I've had it ever since, and here I am.
Thanks for your hospitality! You folks have some really beautiful guitars, way prettier than mine.
