If you're seeking the quintessential jazz guitar to add to your collection, consider the Heritage Guitar Artisan Aged Eagle Classic. Handcrafted by the experienced luthiers at Heritage Guitar, this timeless archtop hollowbody electric features a carved Sitka spruce top, a carved figured maple back, and nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The carved Sitka spruce top adds complex fundamentals to the full, well-balanced acoustic sound, which is complemented by a pair of Seth Lover humbuckers for immense tonal versatility that extends way beyond jazz. Pick up this gorgeous guitar and start playing. At Heritage, superior playability is built-in; and you'll feel it right away as your fretting hand effortless navigates the comfortable C-profile curly maple neck and your fingers dance on the premium bound ebony fingerboard. Meticulously relic'd by skilled artisans for a beautifully aged, authentic finish, the Heritage Guitar Artisan Aged Eagle Classic is a workhorse guitar that offers amazing value for a full-sized archtop.

A jazz box with cross-genre versatility

Take a close look at this beautiful archtop hollowbody electric guitar. If you're a solidbody or semi-hollowbody player, you may immediately think "jazz box," possibly conjuring mental images of guitar greats like Joe Pass and Jim Hall. And while the Artisan Aged Eagle Classic is a perfect instrument for traditional jazz, Heritage Guitar designed in impressive versatility by equipping it with a set of Seth Lover humbuckers and a smooth-as-glass premium ebony fingerboard. So whether you're thumbing Wes Montgomery octaves or speed-picking precision Plini-style runs, the Artisan Aged Eagle Classic is definitely up to the task.

Pure PAF

The Heritage Guitar Artisan Aged Eagle Classic is fitted with a neck and bridge set of Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers. Many guitarists rely on the Seth Lover SH-55 pickup to delivers the goods. From Joe Perry and Steve Stevens to Dweezil Zappa and Blues Saraceno, top guitar heavies use them. And why? They're the closest you'll ever get to the original humbucking pickup Seth Lover designed in 1955 — the ones stamped "Patent Applied For" on the back. To be completely true to the original design, these pickups aren't wax potted. And the tone? Pure vintage PAF!

A tradition of quality handcrafted guitars

For 68 years, 225 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan was home to one of America's premier guitar manufacturers. In 1984, the company moved its operations. The next year, desiring to carry on the tradition of handcrafting electric guitars in Kalamazoo, three former senior employees with a combined 84 years of guitar-building experience founded Heritage Guitar Inc., buying space and much of the original equipment in the iconic factory. Since then, Heritage Guitar has established its own tradition of quality by handcrafting guitars with flawless playability, tone, and visual appeal.
