All joking aside, that is a masterpiece!

As I remember, some of us saw something at the factory that was WAY cool, but we were sworn to secrecy lest we be curse with all our guitars being out of tune for eternity!

New Ascent H717? Only 5 Hours to go

That has a Kahler whammy bar now

IIRC, the last truly great Heritage announcement was the introduction of the beautiful H-717 archtop. I have no idea what's coming, but the speculation gave me another excuse to post this amazing (expensive) archtop. 🙂 https://heritageguitars.com/pages/core-collection-h-717?srsltid=AfmBOoqdWZn8YIQImFh9CiCxkXtGveUNpvw0waqpsgALxuwmldPvLK_c

According to their website TKL gets cases from both Richmond, Virginia "and numerous partnerships throughout North America and around the world." From the info I have found, Canadian builds are made by Etuis Boblen in Montreal. It wouldn't surprise me if TKL also had a manufacturing partner in China or Indonesia. Companies will change sourcing from time to time. According to Matthew Larrivee, Larrivee bought cases from a half dozen companies over the years, including cases built by a private company in China starting in 2011. Boblen supplied cases off and on for close to 20 years.

I saw the same except his eyes were open and he had blue eyes. Kind of looks like Marv.

An image has been leaked to the press.

Well, like I said in my previous post, when I was at the factory a few weeks ago, I noticed that all of the standard series guitars that were about to be shipped out had this wider headstock on them. Regarding the question about when the wider headstock was released, I agree with the other poster who said that they originally came out with the Custom Core models, which I believe were released in 2020 (not certain about the exact timing). However, I am quite certain that these newer and wider headstocks were released just this year for the standard models, and my guess is that they've only been around for the last couple of months or so. The only difference that I can see between the Custom Shop models vs the standard models is that the standard headstock lacks the center inlay. While I have no idea what the big announcement may be, but aside from that, my guess is that the wider headstock will become standard on all models that previously had the narrower one. At least that's my take on it.

That's neat! I had no idea.

I heard from now on all hollowbodies will come with routed Kahler tremolo systems with those locking nut things on the headstock
