JimRhesus Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi all, I have just bought my first heritage over here in London england. I play a kind of sonic youth dirty/clean sort of thing at my 2007 525 PTD does a great job! Now it says custom shop on the inside on an orange sticker. Does anyone know what PTD stands for. It has a bigsby if this helps at all? serial number is X 28405 does annyone kow any history about her? I think she is best guitar i have ever owned. Is she a one off with a bigsby n this colour? (translucent wine red) Interested to hear any comments! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hello and welcome ,JimRhesus It sounds like you are really appreciating the Heritage quality in your 525... you'll fit right in here. And let me be the first to... ask for pics.. we love to see all of the different Heritage guitars out there. Because they are a small shop , handmaking a low volume of instruments, they do a lot of custom features on their guitars. So you don't see a whole lot of the same thing from them.. lots of possibilities really are available. Show that guitar... Pics please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRhesus Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hello, this is actually her. The photos were from the shop she must have been in before someone imported her to the uk but the serail number matches http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/images30...5ptd/index.html There will be some live shots posted in the next few weeks. These guitars are rare in england, I am thinking of coming to the usa to buy a couple I want a black les paul custom (not sure on the product number) and the H 555 also in black.

FredZepp Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Wow.. this is a nice one... We've had others in England & Europe tell us that Heritages are hard to find there... You managed to grab a real beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, Heritage are brought into the U.K. by www.highendguitars.co.uk of Nottingham.There's a substantial list of models available,with illustrations. I've been playing Heritage since 1986,when I bought my C140CM in Hull,Yorkshire.In 1988,I bought an H575,same place.I still have both these superb guitars.There is a little resistance to Heritage in the U.K. The 'Badgers' still want Gibson here,and miss out on some of the world's best guitars. So,welcome to the Heritage owners club,a great place to make friends,chit chat,and find out about things 'Heritage' Peter Alton Green.

peteraltongreen Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just a thought on the PTD.If they use the Gibson type abbreviations, it could be P (P90) T (Thin) D (Double pick up ) Any thoughts anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda thinking that too. I haven't seen this designation applied by Heritage, but I can see a shop doing this on their tags. I know when Heritage uses a P they normally mean Poplar.
