Quartersawn H150 neck and one piece body?

Guys... just pondering if the Heritage H150 in recent years has been of solid one piece body instead of being two piece ? 

Have seen few Heritages H150 with two piece body and has no idea when was it build but i looked into 2017 and it seems like they all have a one piece solid body 

So much on body... i also wonder do the regular H150 has all been quartersawn neck rather than flatsawn ?

Heritage has produced both 1 piece top and back guitars.  It's never been standard because of, likely, wood supply.

Even riff sawn lumber is nearly quarter sawn toward the edges.  I cannot recall ever seeing a Heritage neck with cathedral grain.

Before I get confused again! B)       We all know Steiner gets good wood!

You can order what they call a Plain top H-150 at a little discount.

Being somewhat of a Custom Shop they will entertain anything you have in mind.  For a price.

A few years ago on this forum in "for sale" there was a natural millennium with a crazy curly top that had a dead flat sawn mahogany neck. It was so flat that the grain didn't show as  cathedrals in the primary grain, but as circles. This is indicative of a lack of grain run out. I tried to find it in the search function, but "millennium" in for sale resulted in zero results. Maybe I'm not using it correctly.
