Description
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY to own a one-of-a-kind Heritage custom shop piece at a great price. New Heritage custom builds start around £3500 with basic specs, however they don’t make many of these fully custom pieces any more.
**If you’re a LP Deluxe fan, it truly doesn’t get any better than this.**
This guitar was made in 2016 as a collab between Heritage Guitars of Kalamazoo, MI, Jason Lollar of Lollar Pickups, and Graham Zebedee from Wolfe Guitars in Jupiter, FL (a longtime Heritage dealer and, like me, a lover of the LP Deluxe format).
If you haven't played these custom-made Heritage guitars, you're in for a real treat. They have that magical solid, balanced feeling that is hard to find outside of vintage instruments and ultra high-end custom shop reissues. In this particular case, you're essentially getting a best-of-all-worlds guitar that never existed otherwise: a 60s/70s Deluxe with late 50s/early 60s construction and modern custom shop appointments and electronics. The amount of love, care, and thought that went into this guitar surpasses any G*****n Custom Shop guitar I’ve played, and it’s a phenomenal value.
I bought this guitar direct from Wolfe in 2017 and it has been played and cared for lovingly since then. There are a few tiny surface level dings in the finish, but nothing that would qualify as "damage" as opposed to "honest wear". This was my primary recording guitar for a number of projects between 2017 and 2019, and it still looks, sounds, and plays just as great today.
Here's the original description from Wolfe Guitars:
This custom Mini Humbucker model was designed by our own Graham Zebedee to be the "perfected" LP Deluxe style Guitar. Graham worked with Heritage and Jason Lollar to get it right. The Lollar pickups correct the out of balance pickups from the 60's/70's Deluxes and our version's bridge Mini HB is 1K stronger than the neck pickup- as it should be, and a you’d want them to be. The well considered specs include- old growth kiln dried genuine Honduran Mahogany body,1 piece back, long neck tenon, deep dish carved Northern Michigan Maple top, Tone Pro bridge & stop bar, CTS controls, REAL Nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Grover keys, AAA Indian Rosewood 12 inch radiused fingerboard, 1-11/16th nut width, medium jumbo frets, real mother of pearl inlays, 17 degree peghead angle and a fine factory hardshell case.
*Collection from London, N1 preferred, or shipping available at buyer’s expense*
