@tsp17...Awesome NGD review. There's something magical in a well made, chambered gitfiddle. Play it in good health. 👍

Yep, Will, I do love a precision-made and tension-adjustable 'Six-finger tailpiece'. I put one on the BlueBurst H575 you sold me many years ago...😉

Maybe a six finger tailpiece in chrome would work...?

Outstanding 575! Play it in good health.

That UA Enigmatic looks like a very cool 'Dumble-In_A-Pedal' device. With its expansive suite of controls it should offer something for any tone-seeking guitarist. That said, I've been very pleased with my original issue Hermida Zendrive pedal, getting me close to Carlton-Ford-Bonomassa tones. Now if only I had their other-worldly playing skills... 🙂

Here's an H-140 25th Anniversary that was sold on Reverb a while back. https://reverb.com/item/91740095-heritage-h-140-cm-25th-anniversary-with-case-in-excellent-condition

Never heard of this particular special run, but I spotted this 2025 listing on Facebook... https://www.facebook.com/shoalsguitarboutique/posts/just-arrived-like-new-heritage-h-150-one-of-four-built-by-heritage-in-the-origin/1424474409683848/

Back when "Timmy" Pedal guru, Paul Cochrane was creating amazing Heritage amps, he was criticizing modern-day reverb tanks. I've been through a few tank tank swaps, and agree with Cochrane. I had to return two brand new tanks due to poor performance. Springs jangled or had overtones at low reverb levels. Even after swapping in vintage tubes the reverb sounded washed out. That said, if I needed another reverb tank I'd look for a good used tank from an old amp. Good luck with your MOD tank, Will. I hope it works out for you.

To me it makes perfect sense for working musicians who don't have an endorsement deal with a major legacy brand to gravitate to Heritage. They need the best tool for their trade. And that's not to say they're looking for a 'knock-off' or 'discount brand'. Heritage of late has greatly improved its QC, build consistency and bang-for-buck value. Professional musicians need the best tool for their trade. It's great to see more and more of them using Heritage guitars.

@tsp17...Looks like you've found the pickup-amplifier 'sweet spot' for your new Eagle. Awesome! It's interesting that your increasing the midrange on the amp helped bring out the tone you were chasing. Your jazz heroes of the 50's and early 60's mostly played through amps with a mid-hump (i.e. Fender 5e3, Gibson GA models in particular). Then in the mid 60's Fender introduced its blackface, mid-scooped blckface rigs. That sonic change was evident in Kenny Burrell, George Benson and many other jazz guitarist albums of that era. I find myself boosting the mids a bit when playing archtops vs. semi or solid body guitars. Have fun!

Rock on, Brent!! 👍

That looks like an H575 Mimi Fox signature model.

Beautiful silver burst!! Did you have the back/sides buffed at all?

Looks great!!
