12 string Heritage, I'm jealous.

In John I trust. Great reviews!
I have played several CCs and loved them.

Will you adopt me?
What a great gift and I'm happy to see he took to it so well.

Marv didn't keep a real accurate account of how many he made.
With his best recollection this lucky guy owns about 1/3 of the Marvbirds.

He has more of those.

They are all great, especially the old way. Vintage Wine Burst is a nice one.

I started looking around for shirts and the main thing I got from this exercise is I have way too many t-shirts!
Here are a few but I know I attended more PSPs than this sample. I'll find them some day.

They have listed openings for an acoustic luthier in their job listings.
It has been there for a while.
Not surprised.

I've been reading the thread on TGP about the Ascent guitars. It's almost hilarious reading the condemnation of the wood, the bolt neck, etc. At least a dozen of the posts were the of the "well, I'm not interested!" type.
DUH! Anyone who thinks the Ascent line is aimed at Gear Page snobs is crazy. These are people who will spend $100 on a pair of bumblebee caps or $200 on vintage aged pickguards and poker chips. They aren't going to buy a $180 guitar.
It's not aimed at ImABigStar on TGP who has 30 guitars, a dozen Marshall stacks, two Klons and plays for his dog at night.
It's a guitar for little Timmy who's in 5th grade and wants to learn guitar. Daddy will spend $180 for Christmas. If little Timmy ends up learning to play, then maybe in 4 or 5 years he can get a real H150.
When I was 10, you bought a crappy Sears Silvertone for $20 in the classifieds. Then you might get a crappy Japanese made guitar at a pawn shop for $100. Then, after several years you would move up to a used Fender for $200. You didn't start out buying a $400 Gibson just to try to learn to play G C E... 1 2 3 G B F... 1 2 3.
+1000 Rich gets it!

Frankie's rockin' that thing! I guess he's not so "country" anymore.
Hoping to see him rock this Marvbird.

Have you done anything with it? Still stock?
Still stock and still playing well. I won't touch it until a component goes bad. Time will tell.
Pickups have a nice P-90 sound.

I remember that photo. Classic
Is it still there? The old google maps says it's permanently closed.

This was covered in June, Blues.
I bought a 137 and it was fine for what it is. Good set up out of the box and sounds good.

Wasn't there a Heritage Little one? I would have had to draw the line on that one.
"Look at that guitar player up there. Doesn't he have a little one?"

The H-140 came from the Gibson ES 140 3/4 guitar that Marv traced the body to create the H-140.
He told me his daughter has that ES 140 3/4.
Here is an example of it.

The 1st gtr they built was an H140 wasn't it?
How DID they come up with the name?
Marv built the prototype of the H-140. The one that hung in the old shop.
He told me JP got the first production model of the H-140.

And what about the names "Prospect", "Academy"? Were those Kalamazoo street names?
Marv told me he picked one of the streets and Jim picked the other.
If I remember right, there were girlfriend (s) involved on the streets. But I didn't say that. ; )
