MartyGrass Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 How does Heritage get the maple cap to precisely fit the mahogany body on a H150? What filler, if any, is used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 i believe they glue the plank top onto the mahogany slab and then cut it out, carve it and route it...in that order....i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The pieces are glued together before the body is carved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyGrass Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well, alright then. That makes sense. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegleg32 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 So is the chambering done before the two are glued together on a chambered guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 It has to be done first because the outside mahogany is solid through the guitar. Some (non-Heritage) chamber through the mahogany then put a maple cap on the front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That's why the H-137's are flat... They are the same slabs of mohagany which maple caps are glued on. That's why those are so thin compared to H-140's or H-150's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarnut1 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Does any one of you happen to know the chambering pattern used on 150s? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoNameBand Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 It's adjustable just like a baseball cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
