michaeljames Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I had an SP many years ago that was Ebony. I think I read the wood was poplar. Or basswood. Unbound neck (can't remember) and dot inlays. Are the newer ones Mahogonay/Maple? Flame tops? Bound neck, but still dot inlays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljames Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 here is what i'm looking at. (Ebay #150785817386) i recently bought RS H150 ultra. keeping it for sure. but really looking for a 'lemon burst' which this one appears to be. going to drop in the Tim Shaws i have if i get it. i know $950 is steep, but, i figure the top i want is worth an extra 100-200 bucks in the long run. thoughts? please. and spec info if known.

michaeljames Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yes, thats the one. I'm ok with $950. As stated ~ i love the lemon burst look (sorry for the G term) ~ I'm really glad all is well with the 'owen' fund raising!!! southpaw: so the specs are vague - as all mfgs do - do you know the body wood used? poplar? basswood? alder? mahagony? Thank You for sending the info! helped! still curious on the wood tho'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljames Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 if its on the thin side like a 140 ~ that 'wood' be excellent! and btw ~ i wouldn't care what body wood used ~ would just like to know if possible. as all Heritage Guitars ~ this is just another beauty! Brent ~ what do you know about this one?!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthpawGuy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 After the fact but "hardwood" is probably not mahogany, maybe poplar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
