For those who don't know who Heritage is, these are the luthiers that stayed behind in the old Gibson factory in Kalmazoo to keep hand making incredible instruments when Gibson moved out.  I've owned a lot of Gibsons in my day and they've all been sold since I got my hands on my first Heritage.  I've been selling off a lot of guitars since our second little one arrived.  This one wouldn't be going anywhere if I had the budget to keep it.
There are several upgrades to this custom order:  The Emerald finish, beautifully flamed top and back with no f-holes, custom Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups in cream with gold screws, and a factory LR Baggs piezo in the bridge.  The piezo works great and is passive (no battery).  There is a single, stereo output on the guitar.  Using a regular guitar cable uses just the magnetics.  Using a stereo cable outputs both.  The control for the piezo is very simple. There's a dedicated volume for it in place of the bridge tone control.  It only outputs each independently via a stereo cable and doesn't mix the mags and piezo into a single output.  I'm including the LR Baggs stereo cable to run the mags into a guitar amp and piezo into your acoustic amp.  I've been running the piezo into the effects loop of my Fractal AX8 to run in stereo with the mags on the main input.  It sounds great and I'm happy to share those presets with you to experiment if you also have an AX8.
The guitar is in great shape, but it is used and all sales are final.  So, ask any and all questions before bidding.  I have many more pictures and can take others if you're interested.  I've been selling on eBay since the late nineties and have never had anyone be unhappy with a purchase.  Shipping is free only to the lower, contiguous 48 states.  If you live on a remote island that's technically part of a contiguous state or in some other remote area for which shipping is atypically high please message me first.  Let's be reasonable and fair.  If this sounds specific it's because I'm writing from experience.  :)This is a no reserve auction and I'm starting the bidding ridiculously low.  BODYSingle venetian cutaway Carved curly maple top with chambered mahogany rim and curly maple backBODY SIZE13-1⁄4” width17-3⁄4” length1-3⁄4” rim thicknessNECK17° peghead pitchSolid mahoganyBINDINGSingle cream binding on body top, back, neck, and headstockFINGERBOARD24-3⁄4” scale22-fret ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays12" radiusELECTRONICSTwo Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucking pickupsThree volume, one tone controlsOne toggle switch for magnetic pickup selectionHARDWAREGold LR Baggs bridge and stop bar tailpieceGold hardwareGold speed knobsACCENTSmother-of-pearl "The Heritage" logo no f-holes
