Dick Seacup Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 There have been some strangely shaped (as in "not traditional") Heritage guitars pop up. There was the "gumby" looking one on eBay a month or so ago, for instance. I don't recall having seen anything that was "Rickenbacker shaped" though. That would be interesting to see, so I hope you get some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Seacup Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Pics of the back of the headstock and body, man! ;D Interesting looking. I wonder what the heritage of that Heritage is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 my friend bought it used in seattle in 1991. I wonder if the guys at the factory would remember it. I like the body, but would rather see the hocky stick head stock. as for picts of the back I will see what I can do.. getting my friend to take picts is slow...

Dick Seacup Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Send them to Ren and ask him about it. He's great about replying quickly, and from my experience, he is a bottomless well of Heritage knowledge, lore and arcana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bob Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 after doing a little on line snooping I think it may well turn out to be a john kinnard(dell arte) one off from the 80's, when he owned heritage guitar works in califorina. I sent him an e-mail, and am waiting for responce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
