tulk1 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I vote Butt Ugly headstock, whoever made it. And "Heritage used a one-piece Mahogany chambered body and their unique oblong switch cover" Their what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 A Heritage prototype that does not look like a Heritage nor was built by Heritage? No Heritage is this I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think only someone like Marv would be able to confirm or deny it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Says Heritage right on the case, so Heritage. (body looks like a 150, too, even if headstock was altered/replaced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yooper Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's a Corsa. I think he takes bodies from G and H and modifies them. I'd say a Heritage is one finished at 225 Parsons street. It does have the Heritage oblong back switch cover plate. This one may have started out as a Heritage, but is not one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I vote Butt Ugly headstock, whoever made it. And "Heritage used a one-piece Mahogany chambered body and their unique oblong switch cover" Their what? We call those shapes 'parallelograms' over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbp0701 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Can I say Heritage case? But I-don't-know-what guitar. I find this sentence sad: "The guitar is as new as I never played it. I own several Corsa guitars and love his work." I guess you can you love a luthier's work and never play his/her guitars? But, Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golferwave Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've seen the Corsa conversions of the LP satin finish models and they looked like quality guitars. I've never heard of one being done by Heritage and don't know why he would have Kalamazoo do one if he was planning to start building his own brand anyway. I say no Heritage.

GuitArtMan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It's a Corsa. They are considered high quality Les Paul copies over at TGP. They're sold by the same people that import Faber hardware (very high quality H/W). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Not a Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 bastardized Heritage? maybe he redid the headstock for a client or a reneck? I suppose there is a slim chance Heritage was involved with him, but I doubt it. there is a guy up here who converted an H headstock to a G headstock, on an H150 IMO if you're gonna play a Heritage, play it loud & proud!! enough of this headstock nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawGuy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'd go with a franken-Heritage, it may have been a 150 at some point but it certainly isn't right now. As for it being a prototype it may be a Corsa guitars prototype, fubar #0001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'll bid $25.00 on the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehmanages Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Nope. Not a "The Heritage" but an amalgam called a "Heritage" by Corsa and sitting in a "The Heritage" case to confuse the matter .... to my eyes... looks like a re-necked H-150 body with a faded 50s LP std gibson neck that has been modified into a different shape with a slight refin and overspray. The wings and tuners scream nashville gibson. He could do this already as Corsa churned out a bunch of 50s and 60s faded LPS into his peter green stylized model with the respray etc... Then there's Bill Nash also used the 50 & 60s faded series as the starting point for his relic LPs at $4K + a pop where he stripped and refined in nitro and put dimarzios in. I'm actually pretty interested in how this one shakes out. cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It would be interesting to see what this really is. Truth be told, I doubt we ever will. No one is going to pay $2,000 for a "Protype" because we know the boys at Parson's refuses to sell any of their Prototypes..... I think a better approach is to ask Corsa if they did that. Heritage certification letters don't look like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagefan7 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think Heritages are perfectly described on the Heritage website---this would not pass that test--so...no Heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
