Heritage American Eagle NOS 1993 Natural, reg. #15 w/exclusive red/white/blue case, 25 Years New

Offered for sale for the very first time. Never been in store or on display.

 This is the first new guitar I ever ordered as a music store dealer back in 1993 along with 14 other Heritage guitars in my opening order. This American Eagle my wife and I agreed to hold onto for investment.
This was the very top of the line model by leagues over any other model Heritage offered. It's really over the top. My opinion the finest Jazz box ever (if not the most patriotic! Even the exclusive case to this model is red white and blue (has some scuffs from moving around over the years).

On the inside sticker, visible thru the upper 'f' hole is a brief description of what the guitar stands for and below that, all the names of everyone involved in making it. Sadly some of which are no longer with us.

 Available since 1985, this was only the 15th made by 1993 and I am to understand only 25 total ever produced. Production looked like it stopped mid 2000's. I have a Heritage price list from 2006 where it's listed at $14380.00. Next price list I have is 2009 and it was no longer listed.

It's been out of the case now 8 or 9 times only to periodically check on it every few years. This is the true definition of "dead mint", I mean there isn't even a fingerprint on it. The neck is perfectly straight. Gold Hardware has 100% original luster. You wouldn't know it wasn't made last week (except the benefit of a quarter century of wood aging nicely). Absolutely no need for excuses on this baby.
I think the pictures will tell more than I can.
The case has some exterior wear here and there.

Thanks for looking.
Will consider shipping international.
