big bob Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Vince Lewis has several, there is also one that pops up on e bay from time to time. Do a google search for Venetian cut heritage sweet 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanschoyck Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was told when I got mine, (2001) that they wouldn't do it anymore. (By Jay Wolfe.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 It is obviously possible to make them because Heritage has. You risk breaking more rims to make them than doing a Florentine cutaway. But Florentine cutaways are more labor intensive. In this guitar the access to higher frets is the same as the Florentine. The cutaway is more radical than in the larger archtops, which gives better fret access. You can see this if you study the pix. I'm sure someone can comment on the tone differences between the two cutaway shapes. I'm not sure there is a difference. I can't detect it anyway.

2bornot2bop Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 2b's never understood the obsession to access that area of the neck...but that's a piano players perspective 4 ya...if it isn't accessible by the 12th, he doesn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bob Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sorry Kuz, my phone won't do emoticons, it was given as humor, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. It's just funny to hear you say that you don't hear a difference in tone. Sorry if I hurt your feeling, your a good guy. Peace Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cursed with discerning ears (it is a curse, less sensitive ears would have saved me a lot of money), but now I definitely know what I like. I'll be the first to say when I can & cannot hear something, and the difference in cutaways have no tonal difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarbean Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Segovia apparently stopped using his Hauser (now in a museum) because a microphone fell in it. He said the incident changed the guitars timbre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
