Ok, I got this guitar used, and I think it is a custom, because I've never seen any model made by heritage like it, but is a heritage because it says it on the head stock. Anyway, it was made int the old gibson factory in kalamazoo. It was grover hardware and I love it. The wammy is built into the bridge not the body and I can control the action of each individual string. It also has a fine tuner. its a single/single/hum setup and the hum is tapped so I can use it as a single coil or a hum, there are also switches that let me get odd setups such as front hum and nech single ect. Its made of mahognay hich is bueatiful and has a rosewood fret board. the finish is a transparent cherry to amber. its a carved top with no pick guard and is comfort contouered. I lover everything about this guitar
Sound

Its singles are great for a old blues sound and the hum can be used for a great page or perry sound, Its like a les paul and a strat in one. It sounds great with tube distortion. I play through a hot rod deluxe and it sounds excellent.
Action, Fit, & Finish

since I got it used I don't know how it was setup at the factory. But I can move the action. It plays great, it has a more gibson neck but it doesn't have as large of frets. the neck is glued on not a rod or a bolt, which I think is better. the top is perfectly binded on and the wood is beautiful, not a natural flaw on mine atleast. I perosnaly don't like the fine tuner though.
