MartyGrass Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Arrived safe and sound. Excellent condition Golden Eagle with no cutaway. The neck is medium and oh, so fine. It seems to be a little louder with more depth (bass) acoustically than my Johnny Smith, which has similar dimension but a cutaway. However this has round wound strings too. I appreciate that the jack is on the side. Here's the pics. It reminds me of a certain H157. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 We knew that this one would be pretty cool... and it is. I bet that it has a nice acoustic sound also. I love the look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 MG, I noticed you politely declined my "pawning the Johnny Smith" to me.... Oh, well a man can only try!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I still have an abnormal attachment to the JS. As a kid my guitar teacher had one and he wouldn't let me play it. The truth is I was probably too scared to touch it, fearing I'd ding it or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Enjoy your new Archtop, Mark; I for one am feeling both blessed and cursed at the same time; Blessed that I don't have GAS for these types of expensive instruments, as I don't really play jazz, and cursed that that lack of GAS keeps me from OWNING one or more of these incredible works of art! Play in Good Health, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anothersixstringer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Awesome!!!! I didn't know that Heritage would build a non cutaway archtop, now I have something to look up to for my next, imminent GAS attack. Congratulations on that beautiful, classy instrument !
