UTILIZATION

Like many guitars of this style, access to acute easy not easy
This guitar is balanced and somewhat heavy (what I was looking), about 3.4 kilos. The body is ultrathin, while massive, happy to hold her in his arms.
Superb finish with a varnish that reveals the grain, beautiful cream binding, neck junction box perfect. We are in the high end. But it is discreet.
Details, the head is black and fine, and the pickguard is solid mahogany. Cordier adjustable hyper accurate

SOUNDS

Obviously this guitar can do anything, the bass is round and powerful, and treble. In neck pickup, it is very soft. Note that we find very easily sound that is sought, without fiddling the buttons two hours. I play on a small Valbee, which is the trick in an apartment. I am forced to play low, but even there it is expressed

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it used three months ago on AudioFanzine because it is not easy to find, but I was willing to wait. I had before I sold a Duesenberg. I thought of an ES 335, but apart from the high-end, I thought the finish was average. For a budget less than half, I have a guitar that sounds very well finished, and has its own history.
So yes, I would not exchange two barrels of a great brand against my Heritage
I count even buy other guitars of this brand. For info, go to personal page www.ramonleal.net, you can see the legacy he has
