Ridden hard and put away wet. Kidding I consider statements from the seller as suspect. We know the neck and body lumber being inaccurate. Unscrewing the control plate confirms what Rich and I noticed from the photo. Not the first time a seller reported only driven on Sundays to church by a little old lady.

Rich, Not surprised a 10 year old guitar has nickel or chrome hardware with a patina, is dirty and looks aged. Might be an indication it was played and loved rather that left under the bed.

Very nice! I question the description of the neck. It appears to be a three piece consisting of Korina and Maple. When I was at a PSP and picked out a neck blank, I chose a three piece Korina / maple they had lying around. Could be an employee build which IMO is better than a production with choice of wood and attention to detail. So there is that.

Billy T Never heard of that special issue.

I had spoken with Rem about what he calls "rocking torque" It pressure the studs on the bridge to bend toward the tailpiece, but when the strings only touch the saddle tops it creates to most downward force to the body.

Yes I had done that but assumed the OP knew about that as well.😃

Bridge Type Approx. Length ABR‑1 (ABR) Shorter, narrower footprint Vintage design; limited saddle travel; lighter. Nashville Longer, wider footprint Modern design; more intonation range; larger body and saddle slots. Farber is ABR-1 sized. You can also top wrap the stop tail for better clearance, but the disadvantages are scaring the surface and if your style has your palm scraping over the strings, not too comfortable. Nashville bridges are physically longer because the housing is wider and the saddles have more room to move. ABR‑1 bridges are more compact, which is why vintage Gibson spacing and post locations differ from Nashville-equipped guitars.

On that note: I don't understand the primes of the posters question. I have a natural fret of being tackled, but can't quite wrap my mind around tackling a threat. Superbowl predictions?

My mind must be slipping, OK boomer

Did not see a 555 on Daves sight. Might be mild goose chase. Could only find at Heritage factory and Sweetwater sites.

Can't pull up photos of my 6 heritage guitars in my members gallery. Kind of blacked out. Are they lost forever?

Good to know!

All is well that ends well! One less itch,

Good point! In my defense I was only 8 years old and there was no internet at the time.

I like it with the guard on. If it had a different horn, from the photos it could be an original 58 or 59. Stunning

You have mastered object permanence!

Growing up in Jersey all we had were Ampeg and Silvertons only our cars had fenders.Can't beat the OG bass amp.

Heritage's answer to the SG History Nice one Sir B

Just as Curly Howard says at the end of an episode. "come on in boys"

Very nice. Were you expecting anyone here to veto your purchase? Not very likely.

We would appreciate a tone and playability report!

New Ascent H717? Only 5 Hours to go

Will (skin slammer) would jump on a Heritage accordion! Perhaps ABC will show old Lawrence Welk reruns in their 11:30 slot. At the 2012 PSP when I ordered my 147 black beauty Marv took me in a back room to choose a board of Korina for the body, I spied several "V" bodies left over from the Gibson days. Some time ago I posted a photo of them.

Edited Thursday at 04:45 PM by MelodiusThunk` Was Gregg (Steiner) not I that started the "Do Dah" - so all I could relate to was cartoons from the 1950's - sorry just having fun with the flow.
