Awesome JS!!

Congratulations, Mark. Rose-Natural is my all time favorite shade for HJS archtops.

Sweet looking CC H575's.

Happy 'Heritage Flame Top Friday'! This 2004 Heritage Classic is an 8.1 lb Korina body/neck tone monster. And such a fun guitar to play. The Duncan 'Black-Back' pickups sound killer with any rig.

@michaeljames...Check the inside of the rear access panel for a label. It might show the model and color.

Congratulations to seller and buyer.

Happy 'Flametop Friday'!

Stat?? Gorgeous!!

My entry for Throwback Thursday (Friday) is my very first Heritage. It was love at first sight and still takes my breath away when I open her case. This 31 year old 1993 Golden Eagle has aged nicely and sounds better each year.

Yours are beautiful custom gits. My Y2k Millie doesn't have a rear access panel either, but does have F-holes for limited access to electronics.

Beautiful guitar, but it appears there's no control panel on the backside to access electronics. Can't see the bottom bout in the pics. Maybe there's an enlarged panel near the input jack similar to the early LP Supreme?

Gibson is a master of perceived product exclusivity. They take very basic guitars and guitar-related products, add a certificate of authenticity and special packaging, then charge a premium for them. Great marketing scheme! They aren't alone however. Throbak is similar, offering high prices due to their p'ups being wound on the old Leesona, Slug 101, KZLP and Meteor 101 pickup winding machines. Great pickups...but very pricey. Also, PRS is notorious for producing high cost, exclusives on their products. Remember the 57/08 pickups? Great pickups, but they were offered at a premium price along with special packaging back in the day. At least they are still available at reasonable prices! My only beef with Gibson is that they only offered a limited amount of these new "59 Humbucker Collector Edition" pickups.

Hey Will, hard to beat a set of SD Seth Lovers, especially for jazz. I put a set in my H535 and love'em.
