A few shots of my most recent Heritage, a H-137

It's a 2006 model and it's fitted with Fralin HC P-90s, the finish is old style burst on a solid one piece mahogany body. The bridge is a wraparound intonatable pigtail.

This little baby rocks !!!

My last but one Heritage arrival, a 1996 H-535 in sunset burst.

This one has Seymour Duncan P-Rails installed, with the triple shot switching system. There are four tones available per pickup .. series humbucker, parallel humbucker, P-90 and rail ( single coil). Plus any of those can be combined when both pickups are engaged.

... and yes my Heritage GAS is as bad as my G&L GAS !

Nice, had a couple Heritages and love 'em. Underrated just like G&L. I think a guy could cover about any playing situation with just a 535 and a Legacy.

Killer axes to say the least. Heritage is on my shopping list for next year.

That's an exceptionally gorgeous finish on that H-137!

Hey Southpaw.....how do you like those single-coil pickups in your 535? I've been considering something like that but haven't heard enough about those pickups to make the plunge.

And, while we're on a Heritage theme, here are mine. One of these days I'll have to photograph them again so that they're truly worthy of being quality porn material.

Heritage Eagle Classic......great mellow jazz box.

Heritage H-535 - this one has lots of miles on it.

I've had two others at one time, and they were very nice guitars.

Don't currently have a Heritage, but I've played a few, and thought they were excellent instruments. The H525 is just a Bigsby away from being a winner for me!

I like them enough to have them in two guitars, the 535 above and an H-170 solid body double cut. Series humbucker mode is plenty powerful, more than a Duncan '59 with more low and top end.

Here's me with my H-137 (#14 and the first in TV Yellow) at this year's San Francisco St. Patrick's Day festival:

And here it is a couple of years ago when it was a little more pristine:

I LOVE my Heritage! It's seen a lot of stage time.

Peace...

Aye lad! No doubt there are some on the good ol' (new) G&LDP who look on this kilted guitarist as a bit "eccentric." But, trust me, MANY of the opposite sex get more than a little hot and bothered by the sight of a man in a kilt (especially one with good legs). :-)

Kilt on!

Peace...
