brentrocks Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This was the best trade i have ever made and it was a win-win for both parties involved! Katie was in the process of building this guitar for her husband Todd and i had lost intrest in the Heritage mandolin....Todd had been wanting a Heritage mando for quite some time, so he traded his H 525 to me for the mando. This 525 Eagle has some pretty cool features.... MOP EAGLE headstock Custom "fireburst" finish...one off color Rosewood board with blocks Locking Grovers Lollar P-90s I'll post some clips later....the neck is a medium beefy C, mahogany. Flamed front, back and rim.....the color is a hybrid of sunset burst and antique cherry burst.....Patrick did a wonderful job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASguy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That 525 is Simply Stunning!!! The Fireburst finish is incredibly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You've got guitars. There are only a few of the mandolins. Oh well. At least Todd will play it. ... .... That is one beautiful Eaglet right there, Brently. You done good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That is either the #1 or #2 most beautiful 525 I've ever seen (Guitfiddler's is HARD to beat.) Yours, however, is very unique, as you pointed out. Fantastic trade, both ways it sounds like! Welcome back to the 525 club. Few of us EVER leave it, for good reason. They are one of Heritage's best kept secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Brent~ That is a fantastic looking 525!!!!!!!! I love everything about it...the new custom color (WOW!); the Eagle inlay (CLASSY!); the MOP fretboard inlays (COOL!) and the heavy duty, old school Bail Tailpiece (PERFECT!). Play it in good health...for a LONG time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
