This guitar is in very good cosmetic condition and excellent playability and sound. It is priced well below value. You will not find one in this condition at a better price than this, BUY IT.

If you’re chasing that pure, woody jazz tone with high-level craftsmanship, this 1991 Heritage Eagle ASB delivers in every way. Built in Kalamazoo, Michigan by former Gibson craftsmen, this is a true heirloom archtop from the early years of The Heritage Guitar Company.

This Eagle features the highly sought-after single neck pickup configuration, allowing the carved top to resonate more freely resulting in a warm, open, and incredibly dynamic tone ideal for straight-ahead jazz, swing, and fingerstyle. Responsive to touch—plays beautifully both plugged and acoustically. This guitar delivers everything you’d expect from a high-end carved archtop.

Early ‘90s Heritage archtops are increasingly hard to find, especially in single pickup configuration.

Whether you're a serious jazz player, collector, or studio musician, this is a professional-level instrument with timeless tone and craftsmanship.
