Has anybody something to say about headstock shape ? Not me !
Drove 2 hours yesterday in a nice play where I have lived 15 years ago to meet the seller of this beauty.
Very nice moment sharing views on archtops, cars and everything..
I ended up with a stunning guitar :
Heritage Sweet 16, almond sunburst, custom made in 1995, all solid woods (spruce top, maple sides and back, 5 piece neck) ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge and base, maple pickguard, floater...
Sound is on the bright side, but I already got accustomed to it
Plenty loud acoustically (for an archtop ...! )
Perfectly set up with TI flats 12
Spent 1 hour yesterday and 2 hours today with her, and I'm in LOVE !
I didn't even plugged it in at home, we'll see that wednesday night with friends !
It has got dings here and there, but nothing important, and it seems that this guitar has an history :
Can't be happier !
Thanks again to Marc for this nice transaction.

Damn, jealous again....
Congrats mate, a lovely player there.
-
NICE! Now make a pot of coffee and play it till you wear the frets and finish off, that's what it was made for.
-
Yes, those Heritage are so scarce around here

Up to me to play it right now !

Sorry, I'll have a belgian beer instead (but one will not be enough to fuse down the frets !) Originally Posted by NoReply

Beautiful axe, with a very cool headstock!
Play it for many years and be inspired!

Congrats 339,She's a beauty. Great shape,no doubt due to a loving owner for 21 years. You'll love her for the next 21 years.

That's a looker! Congrats!

Congratulations, what a beautiful looking instrument. I bet the fun will really begin when you plug it into an amp.
Was the seller the guy named on the label ?.
-
Since acquiring my beautiful H 575 Custom, I have become a huge Heritage fan.
Congratulations on your gorgeous new instrument. I wish you many years of joyous music making.
-
Wow, gorgeous guitar. And they ran out of label space for all the signatures! You don't see many signed by Rendall Wall. I talked to him once on the phone. He couldn't be a nicer man.
i love the guitar. The color is amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Wonderful guitar, congrats! I'm a little jealous, too as I wish the good folks at Heritage would have written all that on the label of my Custom made Millennium. Oh well. Great guitars they are! Enjoy!
-
Beauty!
-
Love sweet 16s
-
You are going to have to change your name to "Sweet 16 in May."
But really, that's one eye-catching guitar you've there.
Congratulations!!
-
Very nice .. hope you continue to like it
Here's mine .. at least before I gigged it heavily .. there's now a big wear spot on the pickguard
-
Yup, more evidence that Gibson
left most of the painters that knew how to do a burst up north :-)
-
Great burst on that Heritage. Another fine specimen from Kalamazoo. Enjoy
-
What a beautiful instrument! Congratulations, and play it in good health!
Oh, and count me in the "love the headstock" school!
-
I've said it before, I'll say it again...Heritage is easily in the worldwide top 5 burst-sprayers list. Originally Posted by rhoadsscholar

Congrats. Nice burst. The Sweet Sixteen could almost pass off for an L-4C archtop. On a Sweet 16, the headstock looks right in proportion. My favourite Heritage. I wanted one in the very early 90s but couldn't afford it.
Play it in good health.
-
Great score on a real stunner. Gorgeous ! Looks very minty. A rare bird here in the west.
The label by itself is very impressive. May you become the best of friends playing music together.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Originally Posted by pubylakeg

Nice back on yours, Bluedawg. Originally Posted by Bluedawg

And again, thanks a lot for sharing your experience on that guitar (in the other thread)
