kbp810 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 That's some excellent Heritage Acoustic goodness you've got captured there! Perhaps after dinner I might follow suit and break out the mic on the H450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Perhaps, I should break out the 445 too. We should have another acoustic jam! (I may need it so my ear can recover from tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have been playing my 445 almost exclusively the last month or two. have it right here beside me, in fact. i'm hittin your link now Brent. hope you're feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 oh yeah, got that real earthy tone goin.. you dropped the tuning down too, I detect a little Eb power chordality.. think I'll pick mine up now, see what you started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well, I indeed broke out the 450 and a mic ...the funny thing is, I already get distracted enough when trying to play and record at the same time (my focus keeps getting drawn to the recording level meter, lol) ...but trying to play and record, all while watching the Tigers play is a whole 'nother challenge for my short attention span! (well, let's just say had I also been chewing bubble gum at the same time I likely would have shut down completely) If you listen closely you probably pin point every time there was either a hit or a big out http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3272872/450%20blue%20eyes.mp3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3272872/450%20pinball.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Wow!!! I really like the sound of you guys' 445s!! Never heard them before - that's the kind of accoustic sound I like - big, crisp, and yet with bottom. do they still make them? Couldn't find it on the website.

bolero Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 nice clips, both! I liked the sliding up/bending brent had, what was that? open tuning of some sort? when you went to one of the chords there was a really neat discord going on as you went into it KB the start of the 1st clip sounded like a Ten Years After song what equip did you guys use to record?

Thanks The first song was Behind Blue Eyes, by the Who For my recording it was an SM57 and a MXL 3000 into a M-Audio firewire 410, recorded on mac book via Reaper 64. I had the SM57 pointed towards the 12th fret, and the MXL a few few back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 think they'll make one in lefty? I really like the sound of those 445's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's great to hear some Heritage acoustics... I loved the intro to Pinball Wizard.. nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Koula, Heritage hasn't made any acoustics for years. I'm not sure if it was Aaron Cowles that did the acoustics (its somewhere in an older thread), but the closest you'll get these days to a Heritage would be something like a Sweet 16 without pickups.

I'm not sure if it was Aaron Cowles that did the acoustics (its somewhere in an older thread), but the closest you'll get these days to a Heritage would be something like a Sweet 16 without pickups. I was led to believe that Larrivée built the bodies and Heritage made and fitted the necks....in which case Larrivée can still be had. His core bodies styles have not changed in decades. His "L" size is proprietary, but his dread, folk, and parlor dimensions are typical. Top quality solid wood construction, great guitar and a great value. Very consistent with Heritage in that regard. Would make a lot of sense that they hooked up. IF they did.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I believe they did, Heritage made necks & Larrivee made the bodies I'd be interested in the internals of the Heritages: Larrivee has a quite elaborate number of options for internal bracing, which he developed on his own without copying any of the old American guys I have a Larrivee jumbo & a D05 12 string, they are excellent guitars.....indeed I sold a nice Gibson J-200 and a Martin D18 because the Larrivee J09 was the better gtr the best bang for the buck is a D03, the higher models have more bling but generally same construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yep, a used D03 or L03 make for a ridiculous value. I've had an LV-03 for years, put fishman eclipse in it. This thing is a workhorse and and just a great all around guitar. A bit on the quiet side for cutting through, but what a fantastic voice. Like you, Bolero, I'd love to see some gut shots of the Heritage acoustics! my 2003 LV-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard them before - that's the kind of accoustic sound I like - big, crisp, and yet with bottom. do they still make them? Couldn't find it on the website. That's why I jumped on the chance to own one. Not being made anymore makes the chances of owning one very hard. I doubt they made them left handed, but a good luthier should have no problem switching them from right to left. New bridge and new nut should be all it takes.

New bridge and new nut should be all it takes. Actually, the top bracing on an decent acoustic is rarely symmetrical, they are built to respond differently on the bass side v the treble side.
