To me if you can develop the style, you have essentially a Wes L5 without the expense and yet the target sound. I am sticking by my guns that Heritage Guitars are the underrated ones of the time and will in the long run prove themselves worthy of the best. I have detractors but maybe MG will agree.

    Play this guitar and give us a sound report great move!
    OK Half Rounds are on the way and I will try those first.!

    I did venture into the Campellone direction at one time, but it was used and a floater Deluxe model I believe so it was $6,500. Had I not had a significant trade in the works with the dealer at the time this popped up it probably would not have happened for me. But I was blessed, and this one arrived at 35% off the retail and you can't tell it's been used (if it had been). I have dealt with this dealer since the early 90's and they are great to deal with. From time to time, they do get instruments that are classified as used at significant savings over new, I do not know but I suspect it's a deal from the MFG to move inventory. I have never seen a Heritage like this come up before, so I took advantage of the situation. It very well could have been a "Blem" given the spot in the back, that spot is part of the wood like a knot would be. I feel fortunate to have been able to acquire it!
