NHGD 40th Anniversary Model

Received this when the sight was down.

Honestly underwhelmed. I would have thought Heritage would have done some more special items on it.

I have already talked to Custom Inlays about doing a few additions to it. I'll make it Special.

Looks like my 555

Custom inlay does nice work.   That will spruce it up..

Having the fingerboard inlays changed? I’ll say I’ve never cared for the 3rd to 15th fret inlay style. Wasn’t that the original H555 inlay motif? Blocks are much classier to my eye.

No, I've always liked those markers. 

I'm getting a special truss rod cover and Jason is going to do something nice on the pickguard.

If the TRC is mushroomless, it’s not a real GOG Heritage!

If memory serves, we all debated on what made it so special from a standard 555 model.  Thought it had a larger archtop headstock being the only major difference?
