Heritage USA Little One (1 of 30 worldwide)
This is #17 out of about 30. It is truly a collector's item as well as great player.
It is in excellent condition with no visible fret wear. Case is mint.
The idea behind the Little One series is to have a practical-sized guitar for someone who travels and performs. It is not neck heavy like some SGs.The Red, White and Blue version is a highly customized Little One. They will not make any more. The hardware is top notch!
The wood is the amazing part of this story. It is similar to maple in density but more water resistant. It is used in high end firearm stocks, archery bows, and for some military applications. Thin slices were soaked in vats of dye until the color filled the wood. The slices were then glued together. The laminate block was then cut at an angle to give the striped appearance. The neck itself consists of over 30 laminates. Note in the control cavity that the dye is completely through the wood.
There is no finish on the wood. It is impervious to water. Heritage recommends applying furniture polish to it twice a year. The neck is stronger than maple and should never crack.The tone is bright and is full spectrum with great lows and highs. The sound is amazingly good and is NOT a compromise.
This guitar can be carried on airplanes and played in the front passenger seat on long drives without bothering the driver. It's great to use when sitting in a stuffed chair also. And it sounds really good amplified.
