kbp810 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Everywhere I turn for the past week or so has been Chestnut this and Chestnut that! It started with Steiner, looking through his book of guitars - they only show one Heritage, but it's a stunning 550 in CSB... Then there were new threads here in the HOC featuring guitar after guitar with CSB... Then to top it all off, I met up with Rhoadscholar on Sunday, and out of the blue he just happens to mention his new favorite finish, you guessed it CSB! If that wasn't enough... I overheard a topic on actual chestnuts in our break room yesterday while going for a cup of coffee. Okay, enough is enough, and I hear the message loud and clear, I'm ordering a Milli in CSB this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant go wrong with it. It looks especially nice on archtops but it should look sweet on the Millie. What are your specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfan Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Congrats Brian, happy for you, especially as I read a while back (think it was you anyway) that you might have been losing interest or getting discouraged playing guitar in general. Your new one will have a tough act to follow with that 157 of yours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His final idea is nice and not too far off from the norm. Can't wait to see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that could EVER happen. Brian is one of the most enthusiastic guitar nuts on this forum. He just hides his shredding talents from us while at PSP!

kbp810 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm still hashing out some of the final details for my wish list, but so far it seems I perhaps have something somewhere between the Eagle and the Pro Ultra Top (Flamed Maple), maple top and back (CSB, of course!) F-Holes, possibly bound 3 piece curly maple neck Florentine Cutaway, ala the pro 24.75 scale Ebony Fretboard, Split Block inlays to keep in line with my 157 and 450 Standard Milli sized Headstock, bound with inlaid "The Heritage" Was hoping for an "H" tailpiece, but will likely go with a more standard Trapeze Tailpiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredZepp Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That is great, Brian. There is no doubt that you're a winner at spec-ing out a custom order Heritage, we've seen the amazing results before. ... BTW... I'd seen Chestnut Sunburst abbreviated as CNSB... not to be confused with Cherry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HRB853370 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Chestnut is great as long as it doesn't have too much "peach hue" tint in it. That is reserved for Georgia folks. What a nice color, especially with autumn right around the corner!! Perhaps it will be timed perfectly for a PSPVI delivery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may turn out to be a very bright sounding guitar. On the other hand maybe that's what you're looking for ? Good call on the chestnut burst, I'm surprised there aren't more Heritages in that colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
