    Re: Heritage Les Paul Arrived Today! *PICS*

    I think I want one that is the amber color of the DC pictured above. I want an hard eastern maple top with figure about the same as that DC. I don't want intense flames, just like that DC or Scotts 58'. Ebony board, MOP inlays, probably just standard neck carve....just as close to original 59-60 specs as possible except for the ebony board.

    I think a set of Seths will be the ticket for mine.

      wow! I thought this thread was long dead. glad to hear that you guys are thinking of pickup one up. I still love mine a month or so into it. I played a couple of Gibbys in a local shop... no comparrison. Big heavy tanks that sound sterile compared to mine. I brought mine into the shop and even the manager had to agree that it was the best damn LP he had heard or seen in a long time!

      Good luck guys!!

        Hey Kaknight. I tried to reach Jay. What number did you call him usually at? (561 746 2209 ?). Its always busy whenever I call.

        I'm also debating between Seths and Antiquities. Can ants sound thick - for that traditional Les Paul bark? I'm probably worrying in vain - as Ants are among the best LP pups.

          OK, so I went overboard and bought Jay Wolfe's Heritage "535 Special". Here's what $1,700 bought me:

          Seymour Duncan “Antiquity” humbuckers
          Bone nut (instead of Corian)
          Sperzel tuners with faux ivory buttons
          “select wood”
          Front & back bindings on body
          Binding on neck & headstock
          Inlaid logo (instead of silkscreened)
          MOP fingerboard dots
          figured maple pickguard
          "Old Style Burst" finish



          I know y'all have seen this guitar before, but I can't help it... I love it more now than the day I opened the box

          Having been to the Gibson factory in Memphis last November, I don't think you can get the same quality of wood, features, or fit & finish - let alone set up - from Gibson unless it's from the Custom Shop. I know that I played a couple of the Gibson 335's, including one that was over $4,000, that didn't come close to matching this guitar in terms of tone, etc.
