New to this site, but not new to guitar. Been playing 50 years now. I own quite a few guitars, but my absolute favorite is my Heritage Sweet 16. One of the older models. Natural finish with black pickguard. No tone control, just volume. That's all it needs. It has superb pick dynamics. I can go mellow or add bite just by where I pick. That guitar has more mojo than any guitar ever owned. I LOVE to play jazz and that is what my 16 excels at. Bought it used. It was in perfect condition... nary a scratch to be found. It looks like the previous owner never played it, although after playing it as much as I do, I don't see how any player could not play it.
I own and use several amps (depending on what and where I am playing), believe it or not, my 16 sounds best through my Line 6 Flextone XL II. I set the amp on the Roland JC-120 model, put the mid and treble at high noon, and the bass at about 11 (the tone not the volume). A touch of drive and reverb to taste, and it sounds amazing. Great response from low notes through the higher registers. I just can't get a bad sound out of that guitar.
I have visited the site a few times, but remained one of the shadow people. Glad to be here. Seems like some nice folks hang out here. I look forward to chatting with y'all.
