55tele here. I am new to the board, but a long time Heritage Fan. My first was a OSB 575 purchased back in the early 90's with the Schaller pickups. I seem to trade in and out of guitars quite a bit and let that very nice instrument get away. Another one that got away was a Kenny Burrell Super KB.....I would open the case and just stare at it, but I play in a early 60's top 40 band and just woundn't play it!! Wish I had that one back. Currently have an antique natural 575 Classic with Duncan '59's and Tone Pros bridge and tailpiece. I have another 575 on order, this time Vintage Wineburst, Lollar Imperials and a Trans Black Gib style fingerrest...hope to have by Thanksgiving...we'll see....
I've been to the shop a couple of times....my bandmate and I went for a tour when he ordered his Antique Natural 555......Actually called on the plant when it was Gibson becuase I sell industrial coatings.....at the time they were using Mobil's nitro lacquer, which may now be Valspar (if they are still making nitro....probably not...)
