StevenTari Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm having mine built at Heritage to get what I want in My guitar. How many of you have also did so. Just to get a color, Just to get certain pup's put on a certain guitar, or just to build one a certain way that you wanted, cause Gibson didn't have the time to do it? I don't have my new guitar yet but to Jay Wolfe,Ren Wall and to the people at Heritage, Plus this Forum. May your Holidays be the way you expect, and your life be made special by your existence in others lives that need you. Thank You all. LATER// Steven Tari // Happy Holidays. I know I'll be very Happy when my new Heritage is sent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My first, the H157, was built for me. I ordered it in early 2003 so it would be there before my 50th in July. It got there about 5 or 6 weeks early. Since I was a "newby" at the time, I didn't realize how much I could have customized it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Two custom orders here. First was a Millie DC NFH (no f-holes). Because I could and wanted to. Lots of forum input on that guitar, along with my dealer. Funny thing is, I rarely play it. Stays in the case. But lordy is it a looker. My second is my favorite - Custom Prospect. I wanted some particulars that do not come on the Standard. And with my dealer I didn't pay much more for the upgrades and customizations that if I'd bought a new off the shelf Prospect.

yavuz Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A custom millie order has been given. Jay and I just put it on hold to see if Heritage can do carved maple back instead of flat mahogany. ( This was an option before, I realize... ). Right after the holidays, we will sort it out and keep waiting until it's finished. Here is a photoshopped millie photo that will look like my order.

StevenTari Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 WOW! what nice guitars. What kind of pup's do you have in them. I'm kinda stuck with the P-90's. I just don't care for the Humbuckers to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Flying Bird Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have Phat Cats in all my guitars now. They are p-90s in a humbucker footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can't seem to download images from flikr.... I have a custom build, ordered in 2007. It's an Almondburst Super Eagle. 1 3/4" at the nut, with P-90's. There are about five of them in existence...maybe. It's gorgeous, and more guitar than I deserve! I waited thirteen months for it, unusually long, but worth every minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I have just this one, my custom H157... but hoping to have a Milli added before too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJLII Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Tulk1's Millie DC NFH is badass. Heard it at PSPII and it rocked. Chubby neck as I recall too. And I like his haircut too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbetts41 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I custom ordered this Prospect. It's been modified a bit since I got it as well. Not to hijack a thread but I would love to see more pictures of this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't care for the Humbuckers to much. Fralin P-92s. P-90 sound without the hum...or to translate another way...humbuckers without the wooly bass strings.

tulk1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 A custom millie order has been given. Jay and I just put it on hold to see if Heritage can do carved maple back instead of flat mahogany. ( This was an option before, I realize... ). Right after the holidays, we will sort it out and keep waiting until it's finished. Here is a photoshopped millie photo that will look like my order. Hope you can get the arched back Millie. Think I showed you a picture of the one I had. I have had two guitars that I wish I'd never sold (of all the ones I have sold), and that 2001 Millie is one of them. Are you sure you don't want both pickups in that custom baby? You don't have to use them, you know. BTW, my guess is it won't be a carved back. Probably laminate like the originals. I asked for a carved top/back on my Prospect and they couldn't do it.

yavuz Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Are you sure you don't want both pickups in that custom baby? I know However, I have been playing for 30 years now and have not been using anything other than the neck pickup for the past 20 years. So, why give up mor wood or add a pick-up selector to my signal chain? All of these things effect the tone in a negative way. I am a simple guy when it comes to sound. I only use three pedals. 1. vintage R.A.T -> 2. Boss Octave -> 3. Boss DD-5 delay. Sometimes, depending on the amp I use, I swap the vintage R.A.T with a Maxon Screamer. Both with similar settings. For RAT I use Drive 9 O'clock, Filter 3 O'Clock and Volume 1 O'Clock. BTW, my guess is it won't be a carved back. Probably laminate like the originals. I asked for a carved top/back on my Prospect and they couldn't do it. We'll find out right after the holidays I think Happy Thanksgiving to all of you guys BTW. I miss those Thanksgiving Dinners in US. I have lived in NYC bet. 1989-2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HRB853370 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Does ordering from the dealer per specs count, if the factory has it built and in stock? I only waited 2 weeks for my first Heritage, the 150 in my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
