Product Details

NOTE: WE DO NOT CHARGE SALES TAX, except for in-Florida purchases.

No. 7401. Includes a newer Heritage hardshell case, with a key. This 34 year old Heritage was beautifully crafted in the historic Parsons Street in old Kalamazoo by the original Heritage Master Builders. The Golden Eagle was their premier instrument at the time and it's no longer made. In fact, Heritage now offer a much lower spec archtop for a mere $14,000! The inlaid Registration number on the peghead back is no. 258. They only numbered the 1st 1000 Golden Eagles. This Blonde Beauty shows almost no play wear and it's in near mint condition. It has "That Kalamazoo top of the line" glorious sound we all seek. No smoke odor., scratches, etc. Looks almost new, with just some patina on the gold plating and some surface scratches well beneath the gorgeous inlaid Maple pickguard. Essentially Heritage's version of the Gibson Citation. Specs include:

* 17 inch lower bout width, 2.75" rim depth, 25.5" scale length, 1-11/16th" nut width.

* 20 medium jumbo frets, African Ebony fingerboard with M.O. Pearl "Cloud" inlays

* Very deluxe binding & inlays

* African Ebony full contact floating bridge, fitted to the top, inlaid

* Bound f holes

A magnificent hand crafted top grade instrument from the world's most experienced makers of fine archtops. VERY toneful, plays great, and it's appreciating in value as I type this. Adopt her & give her a good home.
