squawken Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Has anybody heard if the Skolnick model is official yet? I'm hearing that the deal hasn't been signed yet. I guess I should have looked at the website before asking. But as we all know the website can be a little slow in updating info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Last I remember hearing about it was that his people were talking to Heritage's people and their secretaries were going to do lunch. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Last I read about Heritages guitars on their web site was about "hot new millineum" models! And that was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 last i heard Skolnic's agent was trying to finalize the deal w/ Heritage, which means Skolnick's agent wants more $$$$!!! i wonder if Alex wants more $$$??? i bet not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squawken Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I know it's jumping the gun, but did anyone hear what kind of pups would go in the Skolnick model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les paulverizer Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I know it's jumping the gun, but did anyone hear what kind of pups would go in the Skolnick model? DiMarzio Super Distortion's. That's his first personal choice anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les paulverizer Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 if i remember right, his Heritage has a comonation of SDs...Ren told me once I know (and I could be mistaken but I'm 99% sure about this nevertheless) that he's got two H150's; one with Seymour's and the other one with Super Distortion's. The one with the DiMarzio's he kinda prefers but, as here we're talkin' about a Signature model to be made available to the public in view of shiftin' as many as possible(!), I think Seymour Duncan pup's would be the better choice. DiMarzio's, like EMG's, are very particular pup's and are perceived by the general public in a very peculiar way hence it could hinder potential sales; on the other hand I've N-E-V-E-R heard anybody sayin' "I hate Seymour's pup's!" ??? I personally own an amazing Strat with a DiMarzio stacked humbucker in the bridge (the same very early old type that Eric Johnson has on his '57) that I would never dream of changin', but I'm aware of how narrow minded some of those "snobby" and "geeky"..."purist's" ;D are!

ThroBak Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Last time I was at Heritage they had a signature model done and ready for NAMM. I believe the pickups were Seymour Duncan JB pickups. It had a bound headstock with a signature inlay. It had a chunky neck and was intentionally heavy as per Alex'es request. It was vintage cherry sunburst I believe. Great looking guitar. The neck felt great in the hand also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golferwave Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Someone also said that these would be very heavy - 10 to 12 pounds? Hope to see one come out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
