    Beautiful! What P90's are they installing?

    Your parents were happy keeping you kids off the streets steeling hubcaps and worse Rich.

    Both the same weight and withing a few hundred dollars ($3500). You need to play them to decide or if cost is an issue buy the Murphy Lab at $4,300 off list and it's like getting a a Les Paul and an extra $1,000 in your pocket. No brainer!

    Love the Gotoh products, did you change the strings when you installed the M6s?

    Suggest using an additional thumb screw to lock it to the top to prevent more rocking that could gubber the threads. Rocking torque will mess up your intonation. Best solution, replace both screws with a Faber steel studs and bridge and lock it down tight.

    The black and white photo looks like mahogany "wings" and could be maple in the mix. What the old guard could not do is call it a firebird just as they never called H150 a Les Paul.

    I took it that they settled on the original asking price of $2700. Art of the deal!

    Cause you can sell buttered bread for more that the ingredients alone. Take coffee: A bag of beans is $6 for 10 ounces. Add hot waters and you can sell it for $5 for 12 ounces of mostly water. If you can make 30 cups out of 10 oz of beans that's $150 from a $6 investment.

    Remember when ordering a custom from Jay Wolfe, Graham asked my opinion on CNC vs hand carved / cut. All I had was a gut response based on internet chatter. We the end user /consumer of fine guitars know little about building vs manufacturing. We purchase and play. Pete's "wood therapy" displays the vast knowledge gap between the people who visit and work at 225 Parsons. RESPECT

    There was a reason when the old guard retired, Heritage only made the 535 and 150's and discontinued or limited production of archtops. They opened to Sweatwater and other large retailers and cut off lots of brick and mortar, mom and pops stores. They were looking at the bottom line. The time and expense of building one-off for Boomers and dealing with expectations of same was altruistic and a money suck. Having a website promising future "bespoke" and making the occasional for a high-profile player and influencers is smart marketing. I was fortunate to have my builds made in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Those days are gone forever over a long time ago, oh well!

    Skunk works? Don't know

    I would prefer more of that curl and less of the dark edges on that burst as well. Don't know what we can't see under the finish though. Fantastic top!!!

    Gregg,

      Just cleaned and restrung my 575 from flat wound Ti Swings to round Ti BeBops 12.

    Pickups are ThroBak SLE 101MXV 

    Now I get the ghost hum/buzz only through the amp (changed cables/changed amps/change guitars) so it is only from this guitar. It's not a grounding issue or mechanical issue. Could be the same issue you had so I ask..

    If you had to do this over...  assume it is a potting issue... how would you proceed.

    Have not gone to my tech guy.

      Old Town is where Kip (Kidsmoke) and I met. He's the one who told me about Heritage Guitars. I've been taking classes there for years.
