In a perfect world, collectors, players and enthusiasts would be driven to own the instruments that have physical traceable history - not just purely connected to a name that people have been inundated with which has been bought and changed.  When people talk about classic guitars from Kalamazoo, and tie it to names like Ted McCarty, Les Paul or Lloyd Loar - doesn't it seem logical that they would also desire a guitar built by folks who shared the same hallowed grounds and who still create masterpieces with the same dedication and conviction of the historically significant instruments of the past.  Furthermore, don't you think folks would want to buy a guitar from people with a history OF ACTUALLY BUILDING the vintage guitars that are commanding such astornomical figures and are in the hands of players all over the world?  It would seem so....
    Heritage Guitars is a company who's chief concern is building great guitars the same way they built them back in the 50's when they were building for Gibson.  Unlike other companies, they are NOT also concerned with aquiring imported chinese lines, selling pianos and keyboards, drums, horns, reporting to stockholders with divedends, or maintaining an advertising budget that rivals Harley Davidson .  Those thing seem like they'd make it hard to focus on building consistently great guitars. 
    Look at this guitar - When we saw it at the NAMM show, Jim stated "Cool! my brother had a Les Paul Jr. just like this in 1957." To which the owner of Heritage replied "Well, it's probably the same guy who sprayed the finish on the one in 1957 who did this one in 2009.  He's like 80 years old!"   That, my friends, is the definition of credibility.  How you gonna argue with that? Well, we couldn't argue with it, and promptly brought it back to the shop - and ordered more. 
   This is the Famous TV yellow - a color that was originally designed to show up under the bright lights on black and white television. Now it has come to represent retro-cool - and this guitar most certainly does.  Really the only thing modern about this guitar are the Jason Lollar P-90 "Dog-Ear" pickups.  Jason Lollar is an AWESOME pickup maker with a deep, deep understanding of early and modern pickups.  He makes many varieties, but if you ask, you'll find P-90's are his specialty - and these pickups are fantastic.  They sound like the best P-90's you've ever heard with surprisingly LOW NOISE. 
This guitar is LIVE - strum it with out being plugged in and you'll know immediately that every ounce of the mahogany body was grown to make music.  It's got the goods.
Comes with a Hard Shell Case.
