Heritage Owners Club Guitar - PSP Exclusive Hypothetical


DetroitBlues

Recommended Posts

This is the lucky 13 year for the Parsons Street Pilgrimage.  It had me thinking... 

Here's a serious yet hypothetical question.

If we were able to do a "Crowd Source" design for a Heritage Guitar that was exclusively for PSP Members...

Think of a model that represents who we are.

What model would it be?

What features would you have?

IMHO:

  • H140
  • One Piece Maple Top
  • One Piece Back
  • Belly Carve
  • 3 piece neck (Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany) 
  • Bound Fretboard with Dot Inlays
  • Special HOC/PSP Inlay at 12th Fret
  • Bound, crowned, and inlaid headstock with maple cap veneer.
  • Seth Lover Pickups
  • Nickel Hardware
  • Artisan Dirty Lemon

If I could have any one designed for us I'd pick an H357.  Like the people here we're a bit different and not to everyone's tastes.  I love the Korina ones but the original Sunburst would be ok with me too!  I like the open trapezoid markers also.  I'd throw in Throbak P90 pick-ups into it.  Brazilian board would be nice but I could live with ebony.

Since we are dreaming.

I would go with their best seller.

Tricked up H-535

All the H-555 appointments with Thro-Bak KZ-115 pickups.

H555 BA

+1 on the H357 Mike,  I would gladly have one of those!

A Sweet “16” non cutaway with a tap tuned top. 
Two piece maple neck

1 3/4 nick width

Ebony Board

dot inlays

24 3/4 scale raised fretboard

parallel bracing

Basically I would like to see a 20s L5 design Archtop from Heritage with the focus on acoustic tone not amplified. Oh, it must be Cremona Brown too!

I can't afford to buy anything anyway, so I'm out

but a repro of the #1 H140 they had hanging on the wall at 225 would be cool

it was all mahogany, if I recall? no maple cap

ps did Heritage ever make an H225 model? would be a great anniversary model #
