Thank you! I knew we had a member here who is a dealer, searched but couldn't find the thread I was looking for that mentioned him. I will check Wolfe' site too. Thanks again!

Paul at Green Oak is an HOC member and A1+. I bought an amazing custom order that he designed back in the day and I wish I still had it. I have also bought more than one H from Wolfe. Good people.

Who is our preferred Heritage dealer?

That might look cool

With that Zebra pickup, I think that guitar would look cool with a 5 ply pickguard like this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/295617504808

That’s it!!! I couldn’t remember when I was recording. Lol

NICE Brent- love this one and great video!

The Rat pedal is made by Daredevilpedals.com

That's a nice one Brent and it sounds good too! From the good old days when you could ask them to do special orders, I miss those times!

LOL, me too. right on!

It's just your basic rock 'n roll machine. So simple that even I could figure it out!!!

Rock on, Brent!! 👍

I love the kill switch addition.

Nice find,

Picked this up yesterday This is a custom ordered, one off 2011 H137!!! I bought it from the original owner that custom ordered it from Marv and Jim and Vince. It’s a one piece Honduran Mahogany body and neck. The neck is a big 50s carve! Rosewood fretboard with pearl dots. Belly cut. Wrap tail bridge. Single humbucker. Grover tuners. And an old school Heritage case. This H137 was built by the original Heritage Crew. Marv, Bill, Jim, Ren and Vince. It’s in near mint condition. He didn’t play it very much. No fret wear. The neck sealed the deal for me. It is so rare to see a heritage from this era with a big 50s neck!!!! It feels great!! It weighs in at a skinny 7 lbs 6 ozs!! Plays and sounds great!! It has a killer rock tone!!!

yep- that's what i think too. good match for this guitar. i've used the B6 is a couple of 16" inch archtops and liked them a lot. looking forward to seeing what it does for this one. I had one fail once, but ever since tthen I've been really happy with it. will let you know how this one plays out (pun intended).

Your gonna love that Benedeto b6,I put one in place of an hrw on one of my sweet 16, which has a tap tuned top and it is magnificent..I put a puch pull pot on the volume so I can sing coil it too..its really an outstanding pickup for an x braced archtop.

Thanks Mark. X-Braced. Great to know that the tops are same as GEs. I suspected as much. It is my understanding that the two models share DNA, but the Classic is a simpler statement, mostly aesthetically. Suits me better anyway. I do like the standard plain fretboard without markers visually, nice and clean look, but yes- having the dots is a good and clear visual cue to where you are and where you are going. Benedetto B6 pickup is on back order so I wont get it back from the shop for another 10 days or so. Will report back.

He was joking obviously….

Nice, a Mimi Fox!!

That looks like an H575 Mimi Fox signature model.

That's an interesting question. As a kid I played a Gibson 225 for a year or so and gave it to my sister. Much later I had a 525 soon after they came out. The instrument was comfortable for me and was loud enough that it didn't need to be plugged in for bedroom practice. You should prepare how you want to manage the P-90 hum. The pickups are reverse wound, so when both are at about equal volume during amplification, hum is not an issue usually. That's what I did. There are pedals also that take out the 60 Hz hum. The second issue some of us have had is the feedback tendency, common to all hollow bodies. That can be managed as well. The upsides are how light the guitar is and that P-90 hollow body tone. It also has a cool retro image. It's a niche instrument that I like. How much it is worth and what you'll need to pay for it is unclear. They are collectible.
