Heritage David Paul Model

Recommended Posts

I don't know the number, but I know there were several prototype.  The guitar begins as a thinline H-550.  They added some Gretsch-inspired electronics, HRW pickups, and a Bigsby.  David didn't like the sustain, so they put in a center block.  That's the final prototype and the one I have.  The next ones had signatures on the headstock and pickguard.

Pros:

Play well, sounds great, dramatic and beautiful blue

Cons:

Heavier than a H-555, although I have H-157s that weigh as much

 Very cool artist model!  I have an H-550 ‘Custom’ and love it.   Not a signature model, but definitely my go to gigging instrument if I think we’re going to get loud.  It will occasionally feedback but only in limited circumstances.
