This is a 1992 Heritage Academy Custom. The Academy is the single cut version of the Prospect. Its a little smaller than the H 535.
This road warrior has seen some action. Its stamped a #2 from the factory. There is some nitro checking on the front and the back of the body. This Heritage features, arched laminate maple top and back, Schaller pickups, Schaller hardware, Grovers, rosewood board with MOP traps, matching maple pickguard, multi-ply body binding, bound headstock and bound neck.
The Academy Standard would have had a dot neck, plastic pickguard, unbound headstock, chrome hardware and standard cream body binding.
The Acdemy has a floating center block...which allows for more sound to vibrate through the body...gives it a little warmer, woodier tone.
This particular Heritage sounds great with the Schaller pickups....warm, rich tone! Sounds great with some OD!!!
The neck is pretty slim...60s style for sure. Frets have a little wear, not bad though. It weighs about 7.5 lbs.
